MCQ
Pick out the temperature at which iron becomes paramagnetic?
  • $800^\circ C$
  • B
    $700^\circ C$
  • C
    $600^\circ C$
  • D
    $500^\circ C$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$800^\circ C$
Iron is a ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetism decreases with a rise in temperature, and above a certain temperature called “Curie’s temperature,” ferromagnets become paramagnets. For iron, it is approximately, $800^\circ C.$
