We study the force-free electrodynamics on rotating black holes in the Born-Infeld (BI) effective theory. The stream equation describing a steady and axisymmetric magnetosphere is derived. Rom its near-horizon behavior, we obtain the modified Znajek regularity condition, with which we find that the horizon resistivity in the BI theory is generally not a constant. As expected, the outer boundary condition far away from the hole remains unchanged. In terms of the conditions at both boundaries, we derive the perturbative solution of split monopole in the slow rotation limit. It is interesting to realize that. the correction to the solution relies not only on the parameter in the BI theory, but also on the radius (or the mass) of the hole. We also show that the quantum effects can undermine the energy extraction process of the magnetosphere in the nonlinear theory and the extraction rate gets the maximum in the Maxwell theory.
