The upper limit on the <strong>in</strong>terior current flow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the jet,<br />
measured <strong>in</strong> the frame of the external medium, is<br />
therefore<br />
I < 2 π r γ jet B / µ o < 2 x 10 18 A<br />
This is <strong>in</strong> the range expected for certa<strong>in</strong> models for energy extraction from a<br />
rotat<strong>in</strong>g black hole magnetosphere, <strong>and</strong> may therefore be of <strong>in</strong>terest to the<br />
theorists.
