About Millicoulombs per cubic metre
The millicoulomb per cubic metre (mC/m³) equals 10⁻³ C/m³, the scale for space charge in streamer discharge channels and moderately doped semiconductor depletion regions. Silicon doped at ~6×10¹⁵ /m³ carries depletion charge density ≈1 mC/m³; streamer plasma cores during lightning leader propagation have net charge densities of 0.1-10 mC/m³. 1 mC/m³ = 10⁻³ C/m³ = 10³ µC/m³.
About Picocoulombs per cubic metre
The picocoulomb per cubic metre (pC/m³) equals 10⁻¹² C/m³, the scale for solar wind charge density and fair-weather atmospheric electricity. The solar wind near Earth has electron density ~5×10⁶ /m³, giving charge density ≈0.8 pC/m³; fair-weather atmospheric space charge near sea level is 1-10 pC/m³. 1 pC/m³ = 10⁻¹² C/m³ = 10⁻³ nC/m³.
