Information About

Coil




: ''The term "Coil" is a part some names and ideas, see below for Other Uses or the disambiguation page.

A coil is a series of Loop s.


GENERAL APPLICATIONS


A ''coil'' is made of materials, usually rigid, which can be fashioned into a Spiral or Helical shape. Flexible materials like wire, rope, hose, or cable can also be coiled into empty loops, or wound around a central Drum or Spindle .

Some common applications of coils include:

ELECTROMAGNETIC


In Electrical Engineering , an ''electromagnetic coil'' is formed when a metallic or Conductive Wire is looped around a core to create an electronic Inductor or Electromagnet . One loop of wire is usually referred to as one ''turn''. A coil consists of one or more turns. For use in an Electronic Circuit , Electrical Connection terminals called taps are often connected to a coil. Coils are often coated with varnish and/or wrapped with insulating tape to provide additional Insulation and secure them in place. A completed coil assembly with taps etc. is often called a ''winding''. A Transformer is an electromagnetic device that has a ''primary winding'' and a ''secondary winding'' that transfers energy from one electrical circuit to another by magnetic coupling without moving parts. The term ''tickler coil'' usually refers to a third coil placed in relation to a primary coil and secondary coil.

Some common electromagnetic coils include:

CHEMISTRY


In the Study Of How Molecules Interact With Each Other , there are a few specific references to ''organic coils''. During Self-assembly , organic elements organize to form this structural pattern. Molecular self-assembly assembles the molecules, without guidance or management from an outside source, into these shapes.

Examples of these structural patterns include:


As an acronym, ''COIL'' denotes the Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser .
