Zusammenfassung: | It is argued that a posteriori without conflicting with the dubbed no-hair theorem, a Kerr black hole acquires its own proper magnetosphere in the steady eigen-state. The angular frequency of field lines,
$ {\Omega_{\rm F}}$
, given as the eigenvalue in terms of the hole’s angular frequency,
$ {\Omega_{\rm H}}$
, couples with the frame-dragging angular frequency,
$ \omega$
, to create an inner general-relativistic domain of
$ {\Omega_{\rm H}} \gt \omega$
$ \gt {\Omega_{\rm F}}$
, in which the gradient of the electric potential is, when viewed by the fiducial observers (FIDOs), reversed in direction from that in the outer quasi-classical domain of
$ {\Omega_{\rm F}} \gt \omega$
$ \gt$
0. The field lines are pinned down in the plasma source at the interface between the two domains (upper null surface S
$ _{\rm N}$
), from which pair-particles well up, charge-separated into the ingoing and outgoing winds. The EMFs due to unipolar induction operate to drive the surface currents, following Ohm’s law, on the resistive membranes terminating the force-free domains (say, S
$ _{\rm ffH}$
and S
$ _{{\rm ff}\infty}$
), to exert the surface torques onto the respective membranes, thereby extracting angular momentum from the hole and transferring to the domain of astrophysical loads. |
