MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Properties of Matter
Nickel shows ferromagnetic property at room temperature. If the temperature is increased beyond Curie temperature, then it will show
- A paramagnetism
- B anti-ferromagnetism
- C no magnetic property
- D diamagnetism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) paramagnetism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Nickel exhibits ferromagnetism because of a quantum physical effect called exchange coupling in which the electron spins of one atom interact with those of neighbouring atoms. The result is alignment of the magnetic dipole moments of the atoms, inspite of the randomizing tendency of atomic collisions. This persistent alignment is what gives ferromagnetic materials their permanent magnetism. If the temperature of a ferromagnetic material is raised above a certain critical value, called the Curie temperature, the exchange coupling ceases to be effective. Most such materials then become simply paramagnetic; that is, the dipoles still tend to align with an external field but much more weakly, and thermal agitation can now more easily disrupt the alignment.
