Magnetic Properties of Matter: Practice Problem & Solution

31. Nickel shows ferromagnetic property at room temperature. If the temperature is increased beyond Curie temperature, then it will show: (2007)
Anti ferro-magnetism
No magnetic property
Diamagnetism
Paramagnetism

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:

Nickel is a ferromagnetic material. When heated above its Curie temperature, the magnetic domain structure breaks down due to thermal agitation, transforming it into a paramagnetic substance.
