When a piece of steel goes through it's currie point, why wouldn't a current flowing through it drasticly change?
The Curie point, also known as the Curie temperature, is the temperature at which a material undergoes a phase transition from a ferromagnetic to a paramagnetic state. This means that the material loses its permanent magnetic properties and becomes responsive to external magnetic fields.
The Curie point is determined by measuring the magnetic susceptibility of a material at different temperatures. When the material reaches its Curie point, there is a sudden increase in its magnetic susceptibility, indicating the phase transition.
The Curie point of a material can be affected by its composition, crystal structure, and impurities. In general, materials with a higher Curie point have stronger magnetic properties.
Curie point and current are related in the sense that passing an electric current through a ferromagnetic material can cause its temperature to rise above its Curie point, leading to a loss of magnetic properties. This is known as the Curie effect.
The Curie point is an important concept in materials science and is often used to study the magnetic properties of different materials. It can also be utilized in technologies, such as magnetic storage devices, where controlling the Curie point can be beneficial for data storage and retrieval.
