CONDUCTOR.THE OUTER COVER IS MADE UP OF WOOD IT IS
INSULATOR.PENCIL IS A SEMICODUCTOR MATERIAL.

Answer Posted / satya dev ( knight frank)

Semiconductor is acting as insulator during the noraml
temp/ atomsphere/voltage, but on applying potential diff.
across its terminal it behaves like conductor. it has
negetive co- efficient of temperature.
