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 ...
A Helmholtz coil Helmholtz coil schematic drawing. A Helmholtz coil is a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field, named after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. It consists of two electromagnets on the same axis, carrying an equal electric current in the same direction. Besides creating magnetic fields, Helmholtz ...
Magnetic field produced by a solenoid (coil of wire). This drawing shows a cross-section through the center of the coil. The crosses are wires in which current is moving into the page; the dots are wires in which current is moving up out of the page. A common tractive electromagnet is a uniformly wound solenoid and plunger.
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.

Another specialised pole piece is the armature of an electromechanical solenoid, which produces work by being attracted by an electromagnet when the magnet is actuated. An electron lens contains two specialised pole pieces used to guide the electromagnetic field lines of the wire coils of the permanent magnet, these field lines guides the ...
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 Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. [1] It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. [2] [3] Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.
