Above Curie temperature :
- a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic
- a paramagnetic substance becomes diamagnetic
- a diamagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic
- a paramagnetic substance becomes ferromagnetic
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The temperature at which ferromagnetic materials cease to be ferromagnetic and turn paramagnetic is known as the Curie temperature. Above Curie's temperature, there is no net magnetization because the atoms' magnetic moments are randomly oriented and cancel each other out. The magnetic moments of the atoms align and the substance becomes magnetized when a ferromagnetic material is cooled below its Curie temperature.
Therefore, the correct option is (A): a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic
Top Questions on Magnetism and matter
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.

Magnetic Properties of Materials
Magnetic Material:
Magnetic material is one that can repel or attract other materials. The process of attraction or repulsion of these materials depends on the arrangement of electrons, which is known as the magnetic moment of that material.
Diamagnetic - With regard to the susceptibility χ, a material is diamagnetic if χ is negative. These materials produce negative magnetization when they are placed in the magnetic field. When placed in a magnetic field, these diamagnetic materials are barely magnetized. Diamagnetic substances are the ones that are repelled by magnets.
Paramagnetic - In the presence of an external magnetic field, the substances that get weakly magnetized are known as paramagnetic substances. The magnetic dipoles align along the direction of the applied field, reinforcing and enhancing the magnetic field. These substances get weakly attracted to a magnet as they tend to move from a weaker magnetic field to a stronger one. The magnetization (M) of paramagnetic materials, discovered by Madam Curie, depends on the temperature (T) and the external magnetic field B.
M = C x (B/T)
Where M = Magnetization
C = Curie Constant
B = External magnetic field
T = Temperature
Ferromagnetic - The materials strongly attracted by the magnetic field are known as ferromagnetic materials.
