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.

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 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.
