Did Pierre Curie prove that the magnetic properties of a substance change at a certain temperature, now known as the Curie point?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Unsure

  • Maybe

Answer

Pierre Curie did prove that the magnetic properties of a substance change at a certain temperature, now known as the Curie point. This was done by measuring the magnetic susceptibility of different materials as a function of temperature. At the Curie point, the susceptibility suddenly drops to zero, indicating that the material has lost its magnetic properties.
