An electromagnetic coil is an electrical conductor such as a wire in the shape of a coil (spiral or helix). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Electromagnetic coils are used in electrical engineering , in applications where electric currents interact with magnetic fields , in devices such as electric motors , generators , inductors , electromagnets , transformers ...
This makes it possible for the coil to hold a greatly increased amount of energy in its electric field, and lowers the resonant frequency of the coil drastically. Some bifilars have adjacent coils in which the convolutions are arranged so that the potential difference is magnified (i.e., the current flows in same parallel direction). Others are ...

Polyphase coils are electromagnetic coils connected together in a polyphase system such as a generator or motor. In modern systems, the number of phases is usually three or a multiple of three. Each phase carries a sinusoidal alternating current whose phase is delayed relative to one of its neighbours and advanced relative to its other ...
A field coil is an electromagnet used to generate a magnetic field in an electro-magnetic machine, typically a rotating electrical machine such as a motor or generator. It consists of a coil of wire through which the field current flows. In a rotating machine, the field coils are wound on an iron magnetic core which
A gradient-field Maxwell coil has essentially the same geometry of the 3-coil configuration above, but the central coil is removed to leave only the smaller two coils, and the current in one of these is reversed. [3] This produces a uniform-gradient magnetic field near the centre of the two coils.
In electrical engineering, coil winding is the manufacture of electromagnetic coils. Coils are used as components of circuits, and to provide the magnetic field of motors, transformers, and generators, and in the manufacture of loudspeakers and microphones. The shape and dimensions of a winding are designed to fulfill the particular purpose.
Reed switch diagrams from Walter B. Ellwood's 1941 patent, [4] Electromagnetic switch. It illustrates a single pole, double-throw (SPDT) device. Descriptions from the patent text are as follows: Fig. 1 - device shown in nonoperated position Fig. 2 - device shown in operated position Fig. 3 - cross-section 1 - glass envelope 2 - terminal
