Secondary Coil (Noun)
Meaning
Coil such that current is induced in it by passing a current through the primary coil.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The secondary coil is usually placed in close proximity to the primary coil to maximize the transfer of energy through electromagnetic induction.
- The current induced in the secondary coil is typically proportional to the number of turns of the coil and the strength of the magnetic field generated by the primary coil.
- In a transformer, the secondary coil is used to step up or step down the voltage of the alternating current flowing through it.
- The secondary coil can be connected to a load, such as a light bulb or a motor, to utilize the induced current.
- When a current flows through the primary coil, a magnetic field is generated, inducing a voltage in the secondary coil through electromagnetic induction.
