An ignition coil (also called a spark coil) is an induction coil in an automobile's ignition system which transforms the battery's 12 volts (6 volts in some older vehicles) to the thousands of volts needed to spark the spark plugs.
This specific form of the autotransformer, together with the contact breaker, converts low voltage from a battery into the high voltage required by spark plugs in an internal combustion engine.
In older vehicles a single (large) coil would serve all the spark plugs via the ignition distributor.
In modern systems, the distributor is omitted and ignition is instead electronically controlled. Much smaller coils are used with one coil for each spark plug or one coil serving two spark plugs (so two coils in a four-cylinder engine). These coils may be remote-mounted or they may be placed on top of the spark plug (coil-on-plug or Direct Ignition).

How are Pancake Coils used in refrigeration?
Pancake Coils are often used as evaporator and condenser coils in refrigeration systems.
What are the different types of condenser coils used in HVAC systems?
The two main types of condenser coils used in HVAC systems are copper coils and aluminum coils. Copper coils are more durable and have better heat transfer capabilities, while aluminum coils are lighter and more cost-effective. Both types of coils are commonly used in residential and commercial HVAC systems.
What are the different types of electromagnetic coils?
Some common types of electromagnetic coils include solenoid coils, toroidal coils, and air core coils. Solenoid coils consist of a tightly wound helical coil used to generate a magnetic field when current passes through them. Toroidal coils are circular coils wound around a core, often used for inductors in electronic circuits. Air core coils do not have a ferromagnetic core and are used when minimal magnetic interference is desired.

The slower the coils of an electromagnet move stronger or weaker?
The strength of an electromagnet is not directly related to the speed of the coils. The strength of an electromagnet depends on factors such as the number of coils, the amount of current flowing through the coils, and the type of core material used. Moving the coils faster or slower may impact efficiency or performance in specific applications, but it does not inherently make the electromagnet stronger or weaker.
