This is a basic description of an electromagnet. Apply a voltage (direct current) to the coil, and a magnetic field will develop around the coil and be "conducted" through the iron core to create that electromagnet.

Why don't I Have no spark at the spark plug?

Faulty coil, or coil pack (depending on the vehicle). If your vehicle is quite old it might have a mechanical distributor (looks like a miniature milking machine with plug wires coming out of the top), and it will have a single coil (a cylindrical device with a spark plug-type wire connecting it to the center tap of the distributor). In most case, though, you will have a coil pack which might include rectangular "coils" in pairs.

Where are the spark plugs wires and coils on a 1999 Volvo s80 2.9?

There are no spark plug wires. Each spark plug has its own coil and the spark plug attaches to the coil directly. To access the coil and plug, you need to remove the black plate on the top center of the engine (4-6 torx screws, I believe).


What magnet is uses to produce electricity?

An electromagnet is commonly used to produce electricity. It consists of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When an electric current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that can induce an electric current in nearby wires or coils.


Which device consists of two separate coils of wire wrapped around an iron ring?

A transformer consists of two separate coils of wire wrapped around an iron ring. The primary coil induces a changing magnetic field in the iron core, which in turn induces a voltage in the secondary coil. This allows for the transfer of electrical energy between the two coils.
