Question
Name the black substance of pencil. Will the current flow through the electrical circuit when we use the sharpened ends of the pencil to complete the circuit?
Solution
The black substance inside a pencil is graphite.
Yes, current will flow through the electrical circuit if we use the sharpened ends of the pencil to complete the circuit, as graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
