    Above Curie temperature:                                                                                     [AIPMT (S) 2006]

    A)  a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic

    B)       a paramagnetic substance becomes  diamagnetic

    C)       a diamagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic

    D)       a paramagnetic substance becomes ferromagnetic

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] 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 \[{{358}^{o}}C\].
