Question

why the pencil nib is made up of graphite ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

People thought graphite was a form of lead; hence the name given to pencils. The next step in the evolution of the pencil came in the late 1500s, when graphite rods were placed inside wood sleeves that were glued together. This made pencils easier to use.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Graphite is used in pencils because of its ability to leave gray marks on paper. It was originally thought to be a form of lead. In spite of the name, lead pencils do not actually contain lead. During the Roman Empire, lead rods were used for writing on papyrus.
