Original Note:
The pencil uses graphite which is a good conductor of electricity. Here they are just shorting the terminal that completes the circuit with a lower voltage (half with 1 out of 2 cells - most probably 1.5V instead of 3V). Some devices might barely function others obviously won't.https://www.toppr.com/ask/question/graphite-is-a-conductor-of-electricity-give-reason
