Nickel Curie point |
|
Nickel is ferromagnetic and is attracted to the hanging magnet. When the temperature of the nickel sphere used here is above its Curie temperature (627 K), the nickel loses its ferromagnetism. As the sphere cools below the Curie temperature, the ferromagnetism returns. (Companion Demonstration 2.4) |
