Auto Ignition Coils
The current in the primary coil is caused to drop to zero quickly be the
opening of a fast transistor switch. This causes the magnetic field in the
primary coil to drop rapidly, generating a large voltage in the secondary coil.
The generated voltage is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic
field according to Faraday's Law, and the amount of change is multiplied by
the effect of the iron core in the coil.
