Converting from Becquerel (Bq) to Curie (Ci)

What is Becquerel (Bq)

Becquerel (Bq) is the SI unit used to measure radioactivity, representing one disintegration or decay per second. It is named after Henri Becquerel, the French physicist who discovered radioactivity.

What is Curie (Ci)

Curie (Ci) is a unit of radioactivity that was named after Marie Curie, a pioneering scientist in the study of radiation. One Curie is equivalent to the radioactivity of one gram of radium-226.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Becquerel (Bq) to Curie (Ci), you can use the following formula:

Ci=Bq×0.00000000002702703

Similarly, to convert from Curie (Ci) to Becquerel (Bq), you can use:

Bq=Ci×37000000000

Examples

1. Converting 15 Bq to Ci:

15Bq=15×0.00000000002702703=0.0000000004054054Ci

2. Converting 7 Ci to Bq:

7Ci=7×37000000000=259000000000Bq

3. Converting 11 Bq to Ci:

11Bq=11×0.00000000002702703=0.0000000002972973Ci

4. Converting 15 Ci to Bq:

15Ci=15×37000000000=555000000000Bq

5. Converting 11 Ci to Bq:

11Ci=11×37000000000=407000000000Bq

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily convert between Becquerel (Bq) and Curie (Ci) to measure radioactivity effectively.
