    How did that work?
    Doesn’t pencil lead material just work as a resistor? It’s mostly graphite and clay, and shouldn’t have the required structure to work as a semi-conductor.

    Ahh right. I had forgotten about how to term “semi-conducting” was used back in elementary, thanks to semiconductors and the lot.
