curie to kilocurie
Please provide values below to convert curie [Ci] to kilocurie [kCi], or change ↔.
curie [Ci]
Definition: A unit of radioactivity, where 1 curie equals 3.7 × 10^10 disintegrations per second (or 37 billion Bq).
Historyandorigin: Named after Marie and Pierre Curie, who pioneered research on radioactivity in the early 20th century.
CurrentUse: Still used in some countries, particularly in the U.S., to measure the activity of certain radioactive materials, especially in medical applications.
funfact: The curie was the standard unit of radioactivity before the becquerel became more widely adopted in the SI system!
kilocurie [kCi]
Definition: A unit of radioactivity equal to 10^3 curies.
Historyandorigin: The prefix 'kilo' represents a factor of 10^3, used for measuring large quantities of radioactivity.
CurrentUse: Used in large-scale industrial applications or nuclear power plants where high levels of radiation are involved.
funfact: Kilocuries are used to measure the activity of large-scale radioactive sources, such as nuclear reactors!

How to Convert curie to kilocurie
1 curie [Ci] = 0.001 kilocurie [kCi]
1 kilocurie [kCi] = 1000 curie [Ci]
we use cross multiplication method
curie [Ci] → kilocurie [kCi]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
