Microcurie to Becquerel Converter

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

Microcurie

One microcurie is equal to one millionth of a curie (1.0E-6 curies), or 37,000 becquerels.

History: Standard metric prefix applied to the curie.

Current use: Used for measuring small amounts of radioactive tracers and lab samples.

Also written as µCi, uCi, microcuries.

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.
