No, pencil lead is not magnetic.
Pencil "lead" isn't actually lead; it's made of graphite, a form of carbon. According to provided information, graphite is not a metal and is not magnetic. Therefore, it won't be attracted to a magnet. Even if pencils contained metallic lead (which they don't), lead isn't a ferromagnetic metal, meaning it wouldn't be affected by magnets either.
| Material | Magnetic? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Graphite | No | Non-metal; not magnetic. |
| Metallic Lead | No | Not a ferromagnetic metal; unaffected by magnets. |
