When a ferromagnetic substance is heated above its Curie temperature, then :
Options
- Ait is demagnetised
- Bit becomes diamagnetic
- Cit becomes paramagnetic
- Dit remains unaffected.
Correct answer
C. it becomes paramagnetic
Step-by-step solution
If a ferromagnetic substance is heated above its Curie temperature. It looses some (not all) the magnetism properties materials and becomes paramagnetic. Curie temperature of Iron is 770 o c. i.e if iron is heated above 770 o c then it behave like paramagnetic substance.
