Magnetic Materials & Curie Law

Nickel shows ferromagnetic property at room temperature. If the temperature is increased beyond Curie temperature, then it will show

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Nickel is ferromagnetic below its Curie temperature.
  2. Above the Curie temperature the domains break up and the dipoles are only weakly aligned by the field, so χ=CT−TC\chi = \dfrac{C}{T - T_C} is small and positive.
  3. So the answer is (d) paramagnetism.
