roentgen to coulomb/kilogram
Please provide values below to convert roentgen [R] to coulomb/kilogram [C/kg], or change ↔.
roentgen [R]
Definition: A unit of radiation exposure, defined as the amount of radiation required to produce ionization in one cubic centimeter of air.
Historyandorigin: Named after Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered X-rays, the roentgen was widely used to measure radiation exposure until the 1970s.
CurrentUse: While largely replaced by the SI unit 'coulomb per kilogram,' the roentgen is still used in some places and for specific applications in radiology.
funfact: The roentgen measures the ability of radiation to ionize air, but its use has decreased as more accurate measurements have been developed!
coulomb/kilogram [C/kg]
Definition: The SI unit of radiation dose, representing the amount of charge (in coulombs) carried by ionized particles per kilogram of matter.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the SI units of charge and mass, this unit is used to measure the ionization in air or other materials due to radiation.
CurrentUse: Used in radiology and radiation protection to quantify the exposure of materials to ionizing radiation.
funfact: It is primarily used to describe the amount of ionization radiation in air, which is important for assessing potential health risks!

How to Convert roentgen to coulomb/kilogram
1 roentgen [R] = 0.000258 coulomb/kilogram [C/kg]
1 coulomb/kilogram [C/kg] = 3875.9689922 roentgen [R]
we use cross multiplication method
roentgen [R] → coulomb/kilogram [C/kg]
1 → 0.000258
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.000258=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.000387
