The temperature at which the magnetic property of iron disappears (i.e., it becomes nonmagnetic) and its electrical conductivity & specific heat also changes, is called the 'Curie point', which is ________________ °C ?

Correct answer: A. 768

  • A. 768
  • B. 908
  • C. 1400
  • D. 1539

Explanation

The Curie point of iron is approximately 768°C, above which ferromagnetic iron becomes paramagnetic. The higher values listed are associated with other thermal transitions or the melting point, not the loss of ferromagnetism.
