Q. Above Curie temperature :

AIPMTAIPMT 2006

Solution:

Ferromagnetism decreases with rise in temperature. If we heat a ferromagnetic substance, then at a definite temperature the ferromagnetic property of the substance suddenly disappears and the substance becomes paramagnetic. The temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic is called the Curie temperature of the substance. Note: The Curie temperature of iron is $770^oC$ and that of nickel in $358^oC$.
