An ignition coil is used in the of a to the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the (s). The spark plugs then use this burst of high-voltage electricity to ignite the . The ignition coil is constructed of two sets of coils wound around an iron core. An ignition coil is used in the ignition system of a spark-ignition engine to transform the battery voltage to the much higher voltages required to operate the spark plug (s). [pdf]
An Ignition Coil is an induction coil that converts current from a car battery (12V) into the high-voltage sparks required by spark plugs in a car engine. An Ignition coil is like a high voltage transformer, and like a transformer, contains two windings (primary and secondary) wrapped around a steel/iron core.
The primary coil has a few number coil and it is wound over the secondary coil. The entire coil is assembled to a compact unit. Low voltage (12 volts) current from the battery is stepped up to high voltage (10,000 volts) in the ignition coil by the principle of electromagnetic induction.
The main components of a battery ignition system are battery, ignition switch, ballast resistor, ignition coil, contact breaker, capacitor, distributor and spark plug. The source of high voltage/energy for the spark plug is the ignition coil, hence it is also called ignition coil system.
The battery and coil ignition system are old and still used in lots of vehicles. It is being used in light commercial vehicles and two-wheelers bikes. It is one of the most common types of ignition systems and is usually one of the most used in two-wheelers.
Following figure shows a diagram of a conventional battery ignition system. Battery is the primary energy source for the system. One end of the battery is grounded to engine frame. The other end is connected to the primary terminal of the ignition coil through ballast and ignition switch.
The connection of the ignition switch to the battery is made through the ignition coil. One end of the switch is connected to the primary winding of an ignition coil whereas another end is connected with the battery. The ignition coil is kind of a voltage transformer. It will step up the battery of 12V to higher voltage like (10000 V).
