Explain Curie temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The ferromagnetic property depends on temperature.
Increasing the temperature of ferromagnetic substance, dipole moment of its molecules become random and destroyed. At high enough temperature a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic.
The temperature of transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetism is called the Curie temperature `(T_C)`.
Curie temperature that is in the paramagnetic phase is described by `chi = (C )/( T- T_C) (T gt T_C)`
The Curie temperature `(T_C)` of some of the ferromagnetic material :
