Curie temperature is the temperature above which
- paramagnetic material becomes ferromagnetic material
- ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
- ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
- paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
Answer
(3) ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
Solution
As per NCERT, the ferromagnetic property depends on temperature. At a high enough temperature the domain alignment is destroyed by thermal agitation and a ferromagnet becomes a paramagnet.
∴ The temperature of this transition is the Curie temperature TC; above TC a ferromagnetic material behaves as a paramagnetic material.
