If the question is asked correctly and if graphite conducts electricity (I don't know if it does) then any pencil lead on a conductor would infinitesimally decrease the resistance of the circuit, too small to matter. Metal shavings and other debris that conduct electricity are very dangerous because very often it falls into places where you do not want current to flow.

If you are referring to "penciling" the insulation on a conductor then please restate the question and I will be happy to answer it for you.

What effect does the pencil lead have on the speed of a motor?

Pencil lead applied to the moving parts will improve performance by reducing friction. This may or may not increase the speed of the motor for a given power supply.

What factors determine the synchronous speed of an AC motor?

Number of poles and supply freqency determines speed of synchronous motor. For speed control of such motors Variable Freqency Drives(VFD) are used.


Why does a pencil immersed obliquely in water appear bent and short explain?

When light travels from water to air, it changes speed and bends, causing the pencil to appear bent. This effect is known as refraction. The change in speed causes the light rays from the pencil to change direction as they pass through the interface between water and air, creating the illusion of a bent pencil.


If you increase or decrease the frequency what effect on electrical machin?

If you're talking about an electric motor, increasing the frequency will increase the speed of rotation of the motor, and decreasing the frequency will decrease the speed of rotation of the motor. The other way of controlling a motor is to control the current; increasing the current increases speed, decreasing current decreases speed.


How the fan regulator conrolled the speed of fan?

Through a restrictive process of limiting the amount of electricity to the fan motor.


Where do the light waves change speed from a pencil?

Light waves change speed when they travel from air into the material of the pencil, and then change speed again when they exit the pencil back into the air. This change in speed causes the light waves to refract or bend.


What is the effect of increasing number of poles on the speed of an induction motor?

As the number of poles (P) increases, the speed of an induction motor (N) decreases. As seen by the formula: N=(120*f)/P


Does ceiling fan consume less electricity on high speed?

Ceiling fans use less electricity on low speed than they do on medium and high speed. Capacitors are used to control the various fan speeds. The capacitor limits the amount of electricity supplied to the fan motor. When less electricity is sent to the windings in the motor, the fan spins at a lower RPM. The result is a slower speed and less airflow. However, some fans move almost no air at low speeds, so it is important to know what the CFM/watts is for the ceiling fan in question so you can compare the performance at any given speed relative to the amount of electricity used
