Cloth generally insulates better than paper. This is because cloth fibers are denser and provide better thermal insulation compared to paper, which tends to be thinner and more porous. Additionally, cloth typically has more layers and can trap air more effectively, enhancing its insulating properties.

What is the difference between sandpaper and emery cloth?

They are very close relatives. Emery cloth is backed with, well... cloth instead of paper. Sandpaper is best for wood and working on flat surfaces. Emery cloth is usually used for metalworking and is better on a piece that has an intricate shape (whereas sandpaper will constantly break its backing paper and fall into pieces, emery cloth will hold together). The abrasives used on one and the other are also different. Bottomline... if a certain application calls for sandpaper and you only have emery cloth, chances are it'll work out just fine.


Will steel spoon attract pieces of paper when rubbed with polythene and woolen cloth?

Will steel spoon rubbed with woolen cloth attract bits of paper?

No, a steel spoon rubbed with a woolen cloth will not attract bits of paper. This is because the steel spoon is not charged with static electricity through the rubbing process. The woolen cloth, however, can become charged with static electricity due to the friction between the wool fibers. This static charge is not transferred to the steel spoon in a way that would attract bits of paper.
