Curie temperatures is the temperature above which
Options
- Aferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
- Bparamagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
- Cparamagnetic materíal becomes ferromagnetic material
- Dferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
Correct answer
A. ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
Step-by-step solution
Ferromagnetism decreases with rise in temperature. If we heat a ferromagnetic substance, then at a definite temperature the ferromagnetic property of the substance suddenly disappears and the substance becomes paramagnetic. The temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic is called the Curie temperature of the substance. Note: The Curie temperature of iron is 770^ C and that of nickle in 358^ C .
