    Curie-Weiss law is obeyed by iron

    A)  at Curie temperature only

    B)  at all temperatures

    C)  below Curie temperature

    D)  above Curie temperature

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Iron is a ferromagnetic substance. The Curie point for iron is\[1043K\text{ }(={{770}^{o}}C)\]. If the temperature of a ferromagnetic material is raised above a certain critical value called the Curie temperature the exchange coupling ceases to be effective. Most such materials then become paramagnetic. Also after Curie point, susceptibility of a ferromagnetic substance varies inversely with its absolute temperature. Hence, a ferromagnetic substance obeys Curie-Weiss law above its Curie temperature.
