    Curie temperature of iron is the temperature below which it is:

    A) super conducting                            

    B)  ferromagnetic

    C) diamagnetic

    D)  radioactive

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The temperature above which the substance becomes paramagnetic is called Curie temperature. 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 Curie temperature of the substance. The Curie temperature of iron is \[{{770}^{o}}C.\]
