Curie Point

Principle Illustrated: Curie Point

Canadian quarters (which have some iron in them) are picked up by a magnet, and heated by a torch. As each quarter heats up to its curie point, it falls off the magnet into a container of water below. After the quarter enters the water which cools it down, it can be picked up again with the magnet.
