How do mechanical pencils work?
Mechanical pencils work by using a mechanism to extend a thin lead refill as you write or draw. The lead is held in place by a clutch mechanism that allows it to move in and out of the pencil tip. When you press down to write, the lead is extended, and when you release the pressure, the lead retracts back into the pencil.
What is the percentage of lead in the lead pencil you are using?
A typical lead pencil does not actually contain lead. The "lead" in a pencil is made of graphite, which is a crystalline form of carbon. Therefore, there is 0% lead in a lead pencil.
Do pencils need friction to write with?
Yes, pencils need friction in order to write. The friction between the pencil lead and the surface of the paper allows the lead to leave a mark as it rubs off onto the paper. Without friction, the pencil lead would not be able to transfer onto the paper.
Which is thicker a 7mm or 9mm pencil lead?
A 9mm pencil lead is thicker than a 7mm pencil lead.
Is it called a lead pen or a lead pencil?

How can you test if lead in a pencil is harder than lead metal itself?
The 'lead' or graphite in a pencil is softer. Try writing on paper, the pencil will write, the real lead will not
Why was the lead pencil invented?
so that people could write
Why can you write better with mechanical pencil?
the mechanical pencil will write better because it has a skinnier lead, so the pencil doesn't go flat if you write too much on one side. the lead also still graphite, but has special substances in it to help you write better. Still, if your pencil is certified HB#2, it can be used on Scantron Genuine Forms and State tests.
What is better a mechanical pencil or a normal wood pencil?
Of course, a mechanical pencil is better because it has a skinnier lead tip so it makes it much easier to write. Wood pencils have larger, wider tips which wear down easily if you tend to write on a slant. Plus, mechanical pencils last much longer as long as you have lead with you for refills.

Is pencil lead is Pb free?
There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite
Why cannot you write with pencil on hand?
Because you skin is far too soft, a pencil lead needs a rougher surface to leave a mark.
How does lead make a pencil write?
The core of a pencil (used to be actual poisonous lead, now is made of graphite) is soft enough that it can deposit a layer of material when subject to friction (AKA "scratched").
Is pencil lead solution?
Pencil lead is a compound
