Some time ago | read a statement
that the mapneto and induction coil
make high tension current by the
same means, but | do not remember
ihe explanation and no one here
sees able to explain it to rue. If il
would not take up too much space |
should like TO see ii treated in the
Motoring department, which have al
ways found very helpful. B. N. 7.
Both the magnetic and the induc-
ton coil AXE current because they
cut the magnetic lines Of force by
means Of conducting wire. In the
induction coil the lines of force from
the primary winding build up around
the secondary winding. When the
primary current is stopped the lines
If force collapse in descending
r'ave which passes thru the second
sry winding thus producing current.
In magnetic the winding is carried
on the armsture, which revolves at q
high rate Of speed. As it revolves it
cuts the lines of force by means of
conducting wire. 1t has not yet been
explained why this should produce
current. but the fact remains that il
does so.
