There are any number of meanings to "coils", depending on the context.
In a car or many other electrical contexts, it generally means a transformer, usually to increase voltage. In a car, this is used to fire the spark plugs. A special variety of this is the Tesla coil, which can be used for various showy purposes.
In a refrigerator or air conditioner, or other heat exchange context, this will generally mean the condenser coils, which carry the coolant so that it can be cooled after being condensed, and thus heated. This is essentially a radiator.
A coil of wire might also be used to create an electro-magnet, for running an electric motor or other purposes.
In other cases, like mattresses, they could simply be springs.
Presumably there are meanings in cellular Biology, chemistry, animal biology, hair dressing, and thousands of other fields.

What is a stable galvanometer?
When current is passed throgh a galvanometer, the coil oscillates about its mean position before it comes to rest. To bring the coil to rest immediately, the coil is wound on a metallic frame. Now, when the coil oscillate, eddy currents are set up in the metallic frame, which opposes further oscillations of the coil. This inturn enables the coil to attain its equilibrium position almost instantly. Since the oscillation of the coil die out instantaneously, the galvanometer is called dead beat galvanometer.
