← ScienceWhich mechanism affects a hard drive when heated past its Curie temperature?
A)Loss of ferromagnetic data encoding✓
B)Increased density read/write capability
C)Reduced mechanical head wear
D)Enhancement of temporary data caching
💡 Explanation
Loss of data occurs because above the Curie temperature, thermal energy overcomes the exchange interaction stabilizing the aligned magnetic domains; therefore, the ferromagnetic domains lose their net magnetization, rather than any read/write changes depending on physical components.
