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.

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 wooden pencil a conductor?
insulator bcz its a bad 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 an insulator?
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.
Is match a conductor or insulator of electricity?
A matchstick is an insulator of electricity because it is made primarily of wood, which is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is a pencil an insulator or a conductor?

Is a wooden pencil a conductor?
insulator bcz its a bad conductor.....
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 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 lead is insulator or conductor?
Pencil lead is a conductor.
Is a rubber eraser a conductor or a Insulator?
a pencil eraser is a conductor .
Is wooden pencil a insulator or conductor?
insulator bcz its a bad conductor.....
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?
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.
Is paper an insulator or conductor of electricity?
An insulator.
Is match a conductor or insulator of electricity?
A matchstick is an insulator of electricity because it is made primarily of wood, which is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is alcohol a conductor or insulator of electricity?
conductor
