Graphite is an electricity conductor; I suppose that the discoverer of this property is unknown.

Are there any non metals that are conductors of electricity?

Some metalloids, such as silicon, conduct electricity. Graphite(pencil lead) also conducts a bit.


What is lead in pencil?

Graphite is present in pencil leads. it is composed of carbon atoms covalently bonded with each other, and 1 free valence electron in each atom (which explains why graphite/pencil-lead conducts electricity)


Will a line drawn by a pencil conduct electricity?

Yes, pencil lines can conduct electricity to a certain extent, as the graphite in pencils is a form of carbon which can conduct electricity. However, it may not be as effective a conductor as other materials designed specifically for that purpose.


Will pencil lead conduct electricity?

Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.


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.


Which part of a wooden pencil is the best conductor of electricity?

The graphite core of a wooden pencil is the best conductor of electricity because graphite is made up of carbon atoms arranged in layers that allow for the easy flow of electrons. The wood casing of the pencil acts as an insulator and does not conduct electricity.


How do you conduct electricity from anemometers?

through pencil lead.


Is the lead of a pencil (graphite) can conduct electricity.?

Yes.


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 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


Electric currents will pass along a pencil lead true or false?

False, Pb (lead) is an electrolyte and can pass electricity VERY efficiently, but unfortunately pencil "lead" is actually graphite, which is a derivative of stone, and will not effectively pass an electric current.


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.
