Answer:
The core of a pencil is commonly called a “lead”, but it contains no metal at all. ... Graphite is not a metal, and it is not magnetic, so it will not attract or be attracted by a magnet. Even if it were made of metallic lead, lead is not a ferromagnetic metal, so it is unaffected by magnets.
