A pencil is typically considered an insulator because it is made of wood and graphite, which are materials that do not easily conduct electricity. However, graphite itself can conduct electricity to some extent due to its structure, so it can also exhibit some conductive properties under certain conditions.

Pencil lead is a conductor.


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.


Is a pencil a good conductor of heat?

No, a pencil is not a good conductor of heat because it is made of graphite, which is a poor conductor of heat. Heat will not travel easily through a pencil, making it a good insulator rather than a conductor of heat.

Is a pencil a insulator or conductor?

Wood is a fair insulator, but graphite is a reasonably good conductor, so it depends on which part of the pencil you're measuring.

Is a pencil an insulator of electricity?

see, the pencil's outer shield is made out of wood which is a bad conductor of electricity but the graphite core is a good conductor. thank you.

Does a conductor has many positive electrons?

No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.
