Which principle produces the high voltage in an ignition coil?

  • A.Piezoelectricity
  • B.Self induction within the primary winding, which produces the several hundred volts seen across the switching device
  • C.Mutual induction when the primary field collapses
  • D.The transformer action of an alternating current applied to the primary winding of the coil during operation

Answer: C

Interrupting the primary current collapses the field rapidly and induces a high voltage in the many turns of the secondary. Self induction genuinely produces several hundred volts in the primary itself, which makes the last option a real but secondary effect. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
