Assertion (A): When hot water is poured in athick glass tumbler then the tumbler breaks.
Reason (R): Glass is a bad conductor of heat

physics heat energy transfers heat and heat transfer heat energy transfer transfer of heat

  1. A and R are correct and R is correct explanation for A

  2. A and R are correct and R is not correct explanation for A

  3. A is true and R is false

  4. A is wrong and R is true.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since glass is bad conductor of heat the heat will try to escape but the glass would not allow it and in the process ultimately glass breaks down.

Metals are good conductors of heat because

  1. They contain large number of free electrons

  2. Their atoms are relatively apart

  3. Their atoms collide frequently

  4. They have reflecting surfaces

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Free electrons are not associated to any atom in particular. They are usually the valence electrons of the metal atoms and are loosely bound. These electrons form a "charge fluid" that travels from one place to other in the conductor and thus convey electric current.
