🔥 Curie Temperature Explained | Simple Physics Definition

The Curie point (or Curie temperature) is the temperature at which a material loses its permanent magnetism. Below this point, the magnetic domains in a material like iron are aligned, giving it strong magnetic properties. When heated above the Curie point, the thermal energy becomes strong enough to disrupt this alignment, and the material becomes only weakly magnetic. For example, iron’s Curie point is about 770°C. | Fadhel Mahdi
