Ferromagnetic — Curie TemperatureEasyQuestion 20187

Question

Above the Curie temperature, a ferromagnetic material becomes:
  1. A
    Diamagnetic
  2. B
    Paramagnetic
    Correct
  3. C
    Superconducting
  4. D
    An 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.
