Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical.
The wood in a pencil is an insulator. If it is wet, it is a poorer insulator, but only a poor conductor. The carbon (lead) in the pencil is a poor conductor. The metal holding the eraser is a good conductor. The rubber eraser is a poor conductor.
You really have to address the conductivity of specific substances, not items that are build from a variety of substances.

Is a pencil an insulator?
The shell or carapce made of wood in pencil having a graphite refill in it is an insulator but as graphite is good conductor of electricity so overall a pencil can cunduct current in it.
Is a lead of a pencil conductor or insulator.?
No. Lead is a realtively good conductor. The insulator is the wood on the outside of the lead.
What is a conductor of electricity and an insulator of electricity?
a conductor is anything metal and an insulator is anything rubber
Is a paper conductor or insulator of electricity?
Paper is an insulator of electricity.
Is oxygen a insulator for a conductor of electricity?
Insulator.
Is a pencil an insulator of electricity?
see, the pencil's outer shield is made out of wood which is a bad conductor of electricity but the graphite core is a good conductor. thank you.

No. Lead is a realtively good conductor. The insulator is the wood on the outside of the lead.
Is wooden pencil a insulator or conductor?
insulator bcz its a bad conductor.....
What is a conductor of electricity and an insulator of electricity?
a conductor is anything metal and an insulator is anything rubber
Is a pencil a insulator or conductor?
Wood is a fair insulator, but graphite is a reasonably good conductor, so it depends on which part of the pencil you're measuring.
