Based on the polar cap model, we investigated in the energy loss of accelerated electrons in a neutron star magnetosphere by inverse Compton scattering of thermal photospheric radiation. An analytical treatment is presented, which turns out ranges in the magnetic field strength and thermal temperature where ultrarelativistic electrons can not survive.
