1. Induction coil

   An induction coil or "spark coil" (archaically known as an inductorium or Ruhmkorff coil after Heinrich Rühmkorff) is a type of electrical transformer used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply. To create the flux changes necessary to induce voltage in the secondary coil, the direct current in the primary coil is repeatedly interrupted by a vibrating mechanical contact called an interrupter. Invented in 1836 by Nicholas Callan, with additional research by Charles Grafton Page and others, the induction coil was the first type of transformer. It was widely used in x-ray machines, spark-gap radio transmitters, arc lighting and quack medical electrotherapy devices from the 1880s to the 1920s. Today its only common use is as the ignition coils in internal combustion engines and in physics education to demonstrate induction.

1. induction coil

   An induction coil is an electrical device that uses electromagnetic induction to convert a low voltage into a high voltage. It consists of two coils of insulated wire wound around an iron core. When current passes through the primary coil, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil. This allows the coil to produce a high voltage output from a low voltage input. Induction coils are commonly used in applications including electrical transformers, automobiles, and telecommunication systems.

The term 'induction coil' is also used for a coil carrying high-frequency alternating current, producing eddy currents to heat objects placed in the interior of the coil, in induction heating or zone melting equipment.
