1 Coil (chemistry), a tube used to cool and condense steam from a distillation. 2  Coil spring, used to store energy, absorb shock, or maintain a force between two surfaces.  Electromagnetic coil, formed when a conductor is wound around a core or form to create an inductor or electromagnet.
The coil is a simple device -- essentially a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. One coil of wire is called the primary coil. Wrapped around it is the secondary coil. The secondary coil normally has hundreds of times more turns of wire than the primary coil. Current flows from the battery through the primary winding of the coil. The primary coil's current can be suddenly disrupted by the breaker points, or by a solid-state device in an electronic ignition. If you think the coil looks like an electromagnet, you're right -- but it is also an inductor.
