The shell or carapce made of wood in pencil having a graphite refill in it is an insulator but as graphite is good conductor of electricity so overall a pencil can cunduct current in it.

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 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 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.

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.


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.

Is a pencil an insulator or conductor of electricity?

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.
