picocurie to curie
Please provide values below to convert picocurie [pCi] to curie [Ci], or change ↔.
picocurie [pCi]
Definition: A unit of radioactivity equal to 10^-12 curies.
Historyandorigin: The prefix 'pico' represents a factor of 10^-12, used to measure minuscule amounts of radiation.
CurrentUse: Used in scientific studies requiring extremely fine measurements of radioactivity, such as in the analysis of environmental samples.
funfact: Picocuries represent very low levels of radiation and are commonly used for tracing and environmental applications!
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!

How to Convert picocurie to curie
1 picocurie [pCi] = 1.E-12 curie [Ci]
1 curie [Ci] = 1000000000000 picocurie [pCi]
we use cross multiplication method
picocurie [pCi] → curie [Ci]
1 → 1.E-12
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-12=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.499999999E-12
