Curie temperatures is the temperature above which
  1. ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic material
  2. paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material
  3. paramagnetic materíal becomes ferromagnetic material
  4. ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic material

Solution

Ferromagnetism decreases with rise in temperature. If we heat a ferromagnetic substance, then at a definite temperature the ferromagnetic property of the substance suddenly disappears and the substance becomes paramagnetic. The temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic is called the Curie temperature of the substance.
