Question:

Statement I : The ferromagnetic property depends on temperature. At high temperature, ferromagnet becomes paramagnet.

Statement II : At high temperature, the domain wall area of a ferromagnetic substance increases.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Show Hint

Above the Curie temperature a ferromagnet turns paramagnetic because thermal agitation destroys domain alignment.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: Ferromagnetism depends on temperature. Above the Curie temperature the thermal motion destroys the alignment of magnetic moments within domains and the material behaves as a paramagnet. So Statement I is true.
Statement II: With rising temperature the domains break up and disappear; the ordered domain structure is lost, so the domain wall area does not increase (it effectively vanishes at the Curie point). So Statement II is false.
Hence Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Answer: (2) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
