When the ignition key is turned on, a low voltage current from the battery flows through the primary windings of the ignition coil, through the breaker points and back to the battery. This current flow causes a magnetic field to form around the coil. … This causes the magnetic field to collapse around the coil.
How does a 12v coil work?
An ignition coil is basically an electromagnet. … The coil becomes a transformer, stepping the voltage up. If your car uses a 12 volt battery, the 12 volts you put into the primary side of the coil will exit the secondary side as 30,000 volts!
How is an ignition coil constructed?
An ignition coil consists of a laminated iron core surrounded by two coils of copper wire. … The primary winding has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary winding consists of thousands of turns of smaller wire, insulated from the high voltage by enamel on the wires and layers of oiled paper insulation.
