To determine whether a sample of magnetized iron retains its magnetism after being heated to about 900°C and then cooled in a region free of magnetic fields, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Curie Temperature The Curie temperature is the temperature at which a magnetic material loses its magnetic properties. For iron, this temperature is approximately 750°C. ### Step 2: Analyze the Heating Process When the magnetized iron is heated to 900°C, it exceeds its Curie temperature (750°C). At this temperature, the thermal energy is sufficient to disrupt the alignment of magnetic domains within the iron, causing it to lose its magnetism. ...
