Ferromagnetic — Curie TemperatureEasyQuestion 20187
Question
Above the Curie temperature, a ferromagnetic material becomes:
- ADiamagnetic
- BParamagneticCorrect
- CSuperconducting
- DAn insulator
Correct answer
Paramagnetic
Explanation
Above the Curie point, thermal agitation destroys long-range magnetic domain alignment; the material transitions from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic behaviour.
