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.

Is a pencil an insulator or a conductor?

Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.


Does wooden casing from a pencil conduct electricity?

No, wooden casing from a pencil does not conduct electricity because wood is an insulator. The graphite core inside the pencil is what conducts electricity.


Is a pencil an insulator?

Yes, a pencil is considered an insulator because it is made of materials such as wood and graphite that do not conduct electricity well. When it comes to electrical conductivity, insulators like pencils have high resistance, which prevents the flow of electricity.

Does wodden causing from a pencil conduct electricity?

The only part of a pencil that will conduct electricity is the metal band that holds the erasure and the lead graphite mixture that is used to put a mark on a page.


Is a lead of a pencil conductor or insulator.?

A lead of a pencil is a conductor because it is made of graphite, which allows electricity to flow through it. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the free movement of electrons in its molecular structure.


Is a pencil an insulator or conductor of electricity?

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 Velcro a conductor or a insulator?

Velcro is an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity. It is made up of nylon or polyester fibers which do not allow electricity to flow through them.
