curie to microcurie
Please provide values below to convert curie [Ci] to microcurie [µCi], 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!
microcurie [µCi]
Definition: A unit of radioactivity equal to 10^-6 curies.
Historyandorigin: The prefix 'micro' represents a factor of 10^-6, used for measuring smaller quantities of radioactive material.
CurrentUse: Used in low-level radioactive materials, such as those in medical diagnostics or small environmental studies.
funfact: Microcuries are typically used in research labs and hospitals to measure the activity of low-radioactivity isotopes!

How to Convert curie to microcurie
1 curie [Ci] = 1000000 microcurie [µCi]
1 microcurie [µCi] = 0.000001 curie [Ci]
we use cross multiplication method
curie [Ci] → microcurie [µCi]
1 → 1000000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500000
