Becquerel to Curie Converter

Use this page to convert becquerel values into curie, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Becquerel

One becquerel is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.

History: Named after Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity.

Current use: The standard international unit for radioactivity in medicine, science, and industry.

Also written as Bq, becquerels.

Curie

One curie is approximately the activity of 1 gram of the radium isotope 226Ra, equal to 3.7E+10 becquerels.

History: Named after Pierre and Marie Curie. Originally defined in 1910.

Current use: Still commonly used in the United States and in some clinical settings alongside the becquerel.

Also written as Ci, curies.
