    Curie temperatures is the temperature above which

    A) ferromagnetic                   material               becomes             paramagnetic material

    B) paramagnetic                     material               becomes             diamagnetic material                       

    C) paramagnetic                    material               becomes             ferromagnetic material

    D) ferromagnetic                   material               becomes             diamagnetic material                        

    Correct Answer: A

    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 \[{{770}^{o}}C\]and that of nickel in 358°C.
