Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an 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.
insulator bcz its a bad conductor.....
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.
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.
Yes, a pencil is considered an insulator because it is made of materials such as wood and graphite that do not conduct electricity well. When it comes to electrical conductivity, insulators like pencils have high resistance, which prevents the flow of electricity.
Pencil lead is a conductor.
insulator bcz its a bad 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.

a good insulator
a pencil eraser is a conductor .

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.
