Question

What happens to paramagnetic substances on cooling at the Curie temperature?

Options

• They get converted to ferromagnetic materials

• They get converted to diamagnetic substances

• They lose all domains

• They become weakly repelled by a magnetic field

Answer 1

On cooling at the Curie temperature, paramagnetic substances get converted to ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetic materials are strongly magnetised in the direction of the applied field.
