A "pencil lead" is a mixture of the graphite allotrope of carbon mixed with clay and baked hard.

While a pencil lead will conduct electricity, it can not be used to make a light bulb.

Can you replace a type a light bulb with a type a c light bulb?

No, you should not replace a type A light bulb with a type A/C light bulb. They have different base types and wattages, which could lead to safety hazards or malfunctions in the light fixture. Make sure to use the correct type of light bulb recommended for your specific fixture.


What element element is in the carbon family often mistaken for the end of your pencil?

Pencils use Graphite, not lead. Graphite is made of carbon, and no one mistakes a pencil of having carbon. They may mistake it of having lead, in which it is corrected that pencils no longer use lead-but instead use Graphite, which is made of carbon. It is not often mistaken that a pencil is made of carbon. Because it is made of carbon, so how you can make a mistake by thinking the pencil is made of graphite? Its true, not a mistake. This riddle is probably backwards? Or its just a trick question, I dont even know.


Do you use hair to make a light bulb?

No, hair is not used to make a light bulb. Light bulbs are typically made of glass or other transparent materials, with a filament made of tungsten or other metals that produce light when heated. Hair is not a suitable material for this purpose.


How do you use compressed color lead sticks?

Compressed colored lead sticks can be used in mechanical pencils that are designed to accommodate them. Simply insert the lead stick into the pencil, making sure it is securely in place, and then use the pencil as you normally would to write or draw. Make sure to advance the lead as needed using the pencil's mechanism.


How much energy does a normal light-bulb make in comparison to a colored one?

Both normal and colored light bulbs typically have the same energy consumption in terms of electricity when producing light. The difference lies in the design of the colored bulb that filters out certain light wavelengths to produce colored light, which can make it appear dimmer compared to a normal bulb of the same wattage.

How do you make a homemade rheostat?

use a small battery, nine volt or six...make sure you have the proper bulb for the max. voltage. Split a common pencil to expose the grafite core. One wire taped to the exposed end of the pencil and to the battery. To the other post of the battery connect a second lead. By sliding the second lead back and forth on the surface of the pencil the bulb will grow brighter and dimmer based on proximity to the other lead (taped to the end of the pencil)...or replace the pencil with an old door spring. It will work in a similar fashion. Low voltage, no danger, good presentation of electrical resistance. Appropriate for middle school students to do.
