Question:

Magnetic iron thermostat at about 100 degrees will be what magnetic?

Magnetic iron thermostat at about 100 degrees will be what magnetic?

Answer:

The ferromagnetic material is magnetized with strong magnetism, but with the increase of temperature, the thermal motion of metal lattice intensifies will affect the ordered domain moment, when the temperature reaches the neat enough to break the domain magnetic moment, magnetic domain disintegrated, the average magnetic moment becomes zero, the ferromagnetic material magnetic disappear into CIS magnetic material, a series of ferromagnetic properties associated with magnetic domains (such as high permeability, hysteresis loop, magnetostrictive etc.) disappeared. The permeability of the ferromagnetic material of the corresponding permeability into paramagnetic substance. The temperature corresponding to the disappearance of ferromagnetism is the Curie point temperature.
With this feature, many control components have been developed. For example, the rice cooker that we use makes use of the Curie point characteristics of magnetic materials.
At the bottom of the rice cooker, a magnet is placed in the center and a magnetic material with a Curie point of 105 degrees. When the pot of water after the dry food, the temperature will rise from 100 degrees. When the temperature reaches about 105 degrees, due to magnetic material of the magnet magnet disappeared, it lost the suction, then the springs between the magnets and magnetic materials to separate them, and drive the power switch is disconnected, stop heating.
