Magnetic Properties of Matter: Practice Problem & Solution

30. Curie temperature is the temperature above which: (2008)
Ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
Ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
Paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
Paramagnetic material becomes ferromagnetic

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Magnetic Properties of Matter. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

At the Curie temperature, the thermal agitation overcomes the exchange interaction between atomic dipoles that align them. Above this temperature, the ferromagnetic material loses its spontaneous magnetization and behaves as a paramagnetic material.
