yes pencil lead is a conductor
it is made of graphite(a form of carbon) which is good conductor of electricity
Electricity flows through a pencil when it is used as a conductor to complete a circuit. The graphite in the pencil lead allows electrons to flow through it, creating a closed path for the electricity to follow. This is possible because graphite is a good conductor of 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.
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.
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.
Lead is a good conductor. Conductor Lead is a metal and it will conduct electricity. A pencil lead is made of graphite, a type of soft carbon. This is a non-metal, but it does conduct electricity. Conduct
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.
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.

Yes, pencil lead is a conductor of electricity. Lead is a metal. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Assuming of course you mean pencils back when lead was actually used as the writing medium in the pencil, then yes. Other than that, pencils nowadays are made using graphite as the writing medium. But graphite too can conduct electricity.
Pencil lead is the poorest electrical conductor among the materials listed. While steel and glass are poor conductors, aluminum is a relatively good conductor of 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.
insulator bcz its a bad conductor.....
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. The wood in a pencil is an insulator. If it is wet, it is a poorer insulator, but only a poor conductor. The carbon (lead) in the pencil is a poor conductor. The metal holding the eraser is a good conductor. The rubber eraser is a poor conductor. You really have to address the conductivity of specific substances, not items that are build from a variety of substances.
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.
No, modern pencil "lead" is actually made of a mixture of graphite and clay, not coal. Graphite is a form of carbon that is a good conductor of electricity and is commonly used in pencils due to its smooth writing properties.
