I think you're thinking of the Tesla coil, a device which looks like a big metal donut sitting on top of a coil of wire.
An electrical current will cause an electromagnet to energise.
A coil of wire or a coil in the shape of a cylinder is a typical shape for an electromagnet (or a solenoid). The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be increased significantly if the coil is wrapped around an iron core. This configuration may be called an inductor when used as an element of an electrical circuit.
Electrical charge can be produced from an electromagnet. This is a core i.e. iron wrapped in a wire coil. A magnetic device then passing by can cause an electrical charge to be produced, typically AC (alternating current).
Telephones converts sound into electrical signals, and backwards. Speakers with dynamic-coil transdusers convert electrical signals into sound by using the properties of electromagnetism.
Well, when you make it into a coil and pass an electrical current through it, yes. In its normal state, however, it is not.
An electrical generator works by moving a coil of wire relative to a magnetic field.

There are a couple of examples that come to mind where there is a coil in a circuit. One is, the coil is used as a choke to block harmonics from going down the electrical line. Another example of a coil in the line is the coil in a magnetic contactor. When this coil is energized the contacts of the magnetic contactor close.
Is it possible an electrical problem can cause my engine coil to burn on my Mazda 323
try the electrical coil
no
Nikola Tesla
yes it is the primary coil being somthing such as a tubine, and the secondary the generator
All electrical circuits produce a magnetic field around the wires when a current is travelling. If we want to generate a large field, we can coil the wire. Such a coil is called a solenoid.
A coil doesn't produce electrical energy, but it can store it. For a given current (amperes), the energy storage in a coil is proportional to the coil's inductance, which in turn depends on the coil's length, diameter, and number of turns. With everything else staying constant, the coil's energy storage capacity increases when the number of turns increases.
Electrical energy to sound energyExampleSpeakerA coil of wire(voice coil) is placed (inside the cone) in magnetic field produced by a strong permanent magnet, the signal to converted is applied to the coil, so a magntic field is produced due to electric current in the coil. The coil system and permanent magnetic field interacts, so mechanical motion is produced and it causes the coil to move to&fro and it touches the cone, therby reproducing sound from the electrical signal..
