I recently bought Apple iPad 4th gen and Apple Pencil 2 . When I was trying to pair it for the first time , nothing appears to connect it to the iPad when I kept it on the magnetic part . It’s like the pencil is dead . I charged the pencil for around 30 mins too from the cable but still nothing appears not even appearing on Bluetooth devices .
iPad Air, iPadOS 17

Are you certain that you have a second generation Apple Pencil - as this Pencil has no means with which to charge or pair via a wired connection?
Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support
These support pages may be helpful with pairing and use of the Pencil with your iPad:

Charge your Apple Pencil and check the battery - Apple Support
If you continue to experience difficulties, here is one of the better troubleshooting guides:

Be aware that if your Pencil has been set-aside for an extended period, unused and uncharged, the Pencil battery may have been damaged through deep discharge. In common with all Li-ion batteries, they must always have some level of charge.
The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”.
It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge. Do not allow a pencil to remain in low-charge state for any period of time - as the internal battery will fail, rendering the Pencil useless. Setting aside an unused Pencil, for extended periods, is a recipe for premature death of the Pencil battery.
If the Pencil Battery has failed, the only remedy is to replace the Pencil. If the battery has failed and your pencil is within its one-year warranty, you should look to having it replaced by your retailer or at an Apple Store.
Gentle warming of the Pencil (such as placing on a hot water radiator), prior to attempting charging of the Pencil, can sometimes resurrect a dead Pencil battery.
