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 material

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:

Curie temperature is the critical temperature above which thermal agitation destroys the domain structure of a ferromagnetic material, converting it into a paramagnetic material.
