On the Eastern sections of the Historic Columbia River Highway between Hood River and The Dalles the hillsides are now green in their sublime spring beauty. Wildflowers and wild grasses abound. Get out there in early spring, because the eastern Columbia River Gorge landscape is usually brown by the middle of May.
Magneto Motive Force is expressed as a current, I flowing through a coil of N turns. The magnetic field strength of an electromagnet is therefore determined by the ampere turns of the coil with the more turns of wire in the coil the greater will be the strength of the magnetic field.
Before discussing coil differences, it is important to understand the basic operation of an ignition coil. The function of any ignition coil is to convert a low voltage (12 volts or less) into a voltage high enough (25,000-plus volts) to jump the spark plug gap and ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinder. It performs this function by making use of the principle of induction.
