How do you conduct electricity from anemometers?

through pencil lead.


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

Yes.


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.


If a paper and pencil lead is connected to a light bulb circuit which one will turn on the light bulb?

The paper will not conduct electricity, so it will not light up the bulb. The pencil lead, on the other hand, can conduct electricity and complete the circuit, causing the light bulb to turn on.


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.


Can you light a light bulb with pencil lead?

No, pencil lead (graphite) cannot conduct electricity like a metal wire can. In order to light a light bulb, a material that can conduct electricity, such as a metal wire, is needed to create a closed circuit.


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.


Are pencils conductors or insulators?

Pencils are insulators because they are made of wood which does not conduct electricity well. The graphite in the pencil lead is an exception, as it can conduct electricity to a limited extent.


Does pencil lead conduct electricity?

Pencil lead (aka graphite) DOES conduct electricity. It does this thanks to electron delocalization within the carbon layers. Since the valence electrons are free to move, they are able to conduct electricity.


Why can pencil lead can be used to make a light bulb?

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.


What minerals are in pencil lead?

Only Carbon - Graphite Its a covalent solid the only one that can conduct electricity
