Heat energy flows from high temperature to low temperature

An isolated metal sphere is heated to a high temperature. Will it become positively charged due to thermionic emission?

Assertion: The process of transferring heat energy from lower temperature to higher temperature is called cooling. Reason : The mass of the system is not altered when it is cooled.

Assertion and Reason. Mark the correct choice as:Assertion : When a very hot liquid is poured into a thinck glass tumbler it cracks.Reason :Unequal expansion of the inner and outer glass walls causes the glass to crack.

Cooling is transfer of heat energy from the body at higher temperature to lower temperature.

Assertion : Exine of a pollen grain is made up of sporopollenin which is resistant to high temperature, strong acid or alkali as well as enzymatic degradation. Reason : Sporopollenin is absent in the region of germ pores.
