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.
