Converting from Curie (Ci) to Microсurie (µCi) in Radioactivity

What is Curie (Ci)

The Curie (Ci) is a unit of measure used to quantify radioactivity. One Curie is equivalent to the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.

What is Microсurie (µCi)

The Microсurie (µCi) is a smaller unit of radioactivity measurement, equal to one millionth of a Curie. It is commonly used when dealing with smaller amounts of radioactive material.

Conversion Formulas

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

1(Ci)=1000000(µCi)

To convert from Microсurie (µCi) to Curie (Ci), the formula is:

1(µCi)=0.000001(Ci)

Examples

1. Converting 6 Curie (Ci) to Microсurie (µCi):

6(Ci)=6×1000000=6000000(µCi)

2. Converting 10 Microсurie (µCi) to Curie (Ci):

10(µCi)=10×0.000001=0.00001(Ci)

3. Converting 5 Curie (Ci) to Microсurie (µCi):

5(Ci)=5×1000000=5000000(µCi)

By using the conversion formulas provided, you can easily convert between Curie and Microсurie units in radioactivity.
