Here's an example of pencil rubbing: Put a coin under a piece of paper and lightly rub it with the side of the pencil lead and the details of the coin will appear!
A typical lead pencil does not actually contain lead. The "lead" in a pencil is made of graphite, which is a crystalline form of carbon. Therefore, there is 0% lead in a lead pencil.
The first modern lead pencil was developed in the late 16th century in England, when a significant deposit of graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, Cumbria. This graphite was encased in wood to create the pencil we recognize today. While earlier forms of writing instruments existed, the innovation of encasing graphite marked the beginning of the lead pencil as we know it. The term "lead pencil" is a misnomer, as it contains no lead but rather graphite.

Pencil lead isn't really lead, it is graphite, a form of carbon. Pencil lead doesn't have any lead in it whatsoever.
we get lead of pencil from the mixture of clay and graphite
Pencil lead is a conductor.
A 9mm pencil lead is thicker than a 7mm pencil lead.
Pencil lead is made of graphite and clay. Newer recipes for pencil lead use waxy polymers to bind the graphite to produce a lead that does not snap when the pencil is flexed.
