    Curie temperatures is the temperature above which                          [AIPMPT (S) 2008]

    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 :

    [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\[358{}^\circ C\].
