The peak linear charge density of a lightning bolt is 3mC/m = 3 x 10-3C/m (MacGorman and Rust).

1. What is the charge of a 100m long length of a lightning bolt at the peak charge density?

2. If the lightning strike has a cross-sectional radius of 6cm (Uman), what is the volume charge density of a lightning strike at peak linear charge density?
