A pulse transformer which is a part of the ignition system. It receives a small amount of electrical voltage from the battery and steps up the low "primary" voltage and amplifies it into a big jolt of voltage of about 20,000 volts, and sends it to the spark plugs via the distributor. It is made of two windings and a core of iron. The primary coil has about 200 turns of relatively heavy wire. The secondary windings may have as much as 22,000 windings of fine wire. As electricity travels through the primary winding, it produces a magnetic field in the coil. When the points open, the magnetic field collapses and the movement of the magnetic field induces current in the secondary windings of the coil. The voltage is stepped up in proportion to the ratio of secondary to primary turns and the distributor directs this high voltage to the spark plug. Also see exciter coil and field coil.

Ignition coil supplies DC voltage to the spark plugs.
A transformer that steps up 12 volts into a high-voltage low-amperage spark to fire the cylinders.
An electrical coil, which forms part of the ignition system and which, generates the HT voltage.
Transforms the relatively small amount of electrical voltage (12-14V) from the battery to a big enough voltage (15,000V to 60,000V) to jump the spark plug gap. Distributor-less systems have an electronic coil module.
A device used to amplify the voltage from a typical battery into a big jolt of voltage capable of jumping a spark plug gap. The jolt is distributed via the distributor and sent to the spark plugs.
A device used to supply DC voltage to the spark plugs
The ignition coil amplifies and transforms power from the car's battery into high voltage electricity used to fire the engine's spark plugs.
A transformer containing a primary and secondary winding that acts to boost the battery voltage of 12 volts to as much as 30,000 volts to fire the spark plugs.
The component in the ignition system that turns low voltage into high voltage to fire the spark plugs. When 12-volts passes through the coil's primary windings, it creates a strong magnetic field. Then when the current is shut off (by the ignition module
An ignition coil (also called a spark coil) is an induction coil in an automobile's ignition system which transforms a storage battery's 12 volts to the thousands of volts needed to spark the spark plugs.
