Q. Curie temperature is the temperature above which
A) Ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
B) Ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
C) Paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
D) Paramagnetic material becomes ferromagnetic material
Explanation
[Solution from source] Above the Curie temperature, thermal agitation destroys the alignment of the domains, and a ferromagnet behaves as a paramagnet. It does not become diamagnetic, because the atoms still carry permanent magnetic moments. Answer (2).
