    At what temperature iron becomes paramagnetic?

    A)  \[{{200}^{o}}C\]          

    B)  \[{{400}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{600}^{o}}C\]         

    D)  \[{{800}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     When a ferromagnetic material is heated above a certain temperature (called Curie temperature), the exchange coupling suddenly disappears. The substance, therefore starts behaving as paramagnetic. Curie temperature for iron is about 800K. Note For cobalt, it is 1375 K and for nickel, the curie temperature is 625 K.
