No. Lead is a realtively good conductor. The insulator is the wood on the outside of the lead.

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.
Is a wooden pencil a conductor?
insulator bcz its a bad conductor.....
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 lead conductor semi conductor or insulator?
Lead is a conductor like all metals are.
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 pencil lead a good conductor?
a good insulator
Is wooden pencil a insulator or conductor?

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.

Is a rubber eraser a conductor or a Insulator?
a pencil eraser is a conductor .
Is pencil lead a conductor of electricity?
yes pencil lead is a conductor it is made of graphite(a form of carbon) which is good conductor of electricity

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.
