Meaning
Coil forming the part of an electrical circuit such that changing current in it induces a current in a neighboring circuit; "current through the primary coil induces current in the secondary coil".
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The primary coil in the transformer is responsible for receiving the input voltage and current.
- When the primary coil is connected to the AC power source, a magnetic field is generated.
- The turns ratio between the primary coil and the secondary coil determines the transformation of the voltage levels.
- In the circuit, the primary coil is connected to a resistor that limits the flow of current.
- The alternating current flowing through the primary coil induces an electromotive force in the secondary coil.
