Curie temperature is the temperature above which:

A

Ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material.

B

Paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material.

C

Paramagnetic material becomes ferromagnetic material.

D

Ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Temperature Dependence: The magnetic properties of materials, particularly ferromagnetism, depend on temperature. In ferromagnetic materials, magnetic dipoles are aligned in domains.
  2. Curie Temperature (TcT_c): As the temperature increases, thermal agitation competes with the domain alignment. At a specific transition temperature known as the Curie temperature, the domain structure disintegrates.
  3. Transition: Above the Curie temperature, the ferromagnetic material loses its spontaneous magnetization and transforms into a paramagnetic material. The susceptibility drops and follows the Curie-Weiss law .
