English: Schematic diagram of a Ruhmkorff coil (induction coil or "spark coil") circuit. The Ruhmkorff coil was a high voltage transformer that generated pulsing high voltage current from a low voltage DC source by use of a vibrating magnetic contact arm called an interrupter. It was developed between 1836 and 1870 by Nicholas Callan, Heinrich ...

For this reason, induction coils were called spark coils. An induction coil is traditionally characterised by the length of spark it can produce; a '4 inch' (10 cm) induction coil could produce a 4 inch spark. Until the development of the cathode ray oscilloscope, this was the most reliable measurement of peak voltage of such asymmetric ...
The blue trace, i 1 is the current in the coil's primary winding. It is broken periodically by a vibrating contact in the primary circuit called an interrupter. The changes in current create a changing magnetic flux in the coil which induces a high voltage in the secondary coil, v 2 shown in red. The voltage induced in the secondary is ...
A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.
An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering ...
File:Induction coil waveforms.svg; File:Induction coil waveforms with capacitor.svg; Primarily, the figures do not show the effects of breakdown. The comments are misleading. The first figure has an odd idealization. Apparently it wants a stray capacitance to explain a limiting peak voltage but then ignores the capacitance for the decay.
A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
