alleryAbove the Curie temperature a ferromagnet turns into:
AA conductor
BAn insulator
CA paramagnet
DA diamagnet
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A paramagnet
1. Heating breaks up the domain structure of a ferromagnet.
2. Above a certain temperature the strong magnetisation is gone.
3. The material then behaves as a paramagnet.
