The sine wave obviously decays faster if the secondary is loaded. The spark gap, as noted above, is a negative resistance, and consequently holds the initial cycle of secondary current (and hence voltage) up for longer than would otherwise be the case. But it cannot hold up the current in the primary. This has to fall to zero as soon as the capacitor is charged (and then reverse as it starts to charge the primary inductance in the opposite direction). The primary current will be an exponentially decaying sine wave regardless of the characteristic of the secondary load. The rate of decay is faster as energy is coupled out to the spark but the rate of decay falls once the spark extinguishes. The loose coupling of the primary and secondary allows the current waveforms to be different.</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="diff-empty diff-side-deleted"></td> <td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td> <td class="diff-addedline diff-side-added"><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="diff-empty diff-side-deleted"></td> <td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td> <td class="diff-addedline diff-side-added"><div>:::::By the way, the modus operandi of a motor car ignition coil is exactly the same as the subject induction coil. Even as late as the 1960's they generally did not have closed magnetic circuits. Most modern coils do have closed circuits (and some even have permanent magnets embedded). But the primary and secondary cannot be tightly coupled. One technique often used is to wind the secondary onto the magnetic core first, and place the primary on top, but with a space between the windings. By this means the coupling can be controlled and designed for the greatest efficiency of spark.

Unfortunately the textbook was for high schools. Anybody who's looked at this with an oscilloscope knows it's a dramatic simplification. The coil and capacitor form a tuned circuit which rings like a bell, thereby providing a <b>diminishing series of sparks</b> with each opening of the points. I don't have time to fix this now.

The V<sub>2</sub> in the diagram showing the primary current and secondary voltage is wrong. The V<sub>2</sub> output would be a decaying sine wave precisely because there is a capacitor across the interupter. If there is a spark gap connected to the output, that will limit the voltage that actually appears across the gap. The two effects together give the "diminishing series of sparks" refered to above. The voltage that appears across the secondary coil itself will be higher due to the effects of the inductance of the conductors between the coils and the spark gap.

I put some dubious tags in for the electrical aspects, and I was tempted to add more. There are many things wrong. Putting a capacitor across the contacts is to slow the current interruption and prevent or minimize arcing at the contacts. Consequently, the capacitor prevents the voltage across the primary from going as high as it could, and that tends to limit the secondary voltage rather than increase it (the explanation is wrong). The max contact voltage would be limited by glow discharges to a few hundred volts. The arc discharge aspects are tricker. A voltage gradient of 0.5 MV/cm can start an arc discharge; that's what the capacitor stops: high voltages across the contacts at small contact separation. If the contacts do break down, then there can be an arc sustaining voltage of less than 20 V, and that will limit the primary voltage and hence the secondary voltage. Also, preventing energy loss in the primary circuit means that energy must be dissipated in the secondary. The diagrams don't seem to follow their cited reference (at least the one I checked). <a href="/wiki/User:Glrx" title="User:Glrx">Glrx</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Glrx" title="User talk:Glrx">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Induction_coil#c-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z-Dubious" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z-Dubious"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z-Dubious"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Elektrik_Fanne-2016-03-17T16:34:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z"></span>The capacitor is to form a parallel tuned circuit with the primary inductance. It is true that it will prevent the back emf rising as far as it otherwise would, but its absence would only give a single spark of greater energy. At the point od contact separation the capacitor, which is uncharged, is effectively a short circuit but a small spark still occurs at the interupter contacts as the current changes dirrection. Not all the energy is disipated in the secondary. The primary of the coil has resistance and this contributes to the dissipation of the energy (especially as in most coils not all the magnetic flux from the primary cuts the secondary windings due to the linear construction (magnetic circuit is incomplete).</dd></dl> <dl><dd>A reference: a book showing a school boy how to build such a coil. The Boy Electrician, by J W Sims, <i>"Every time the circuit is broken, a high voltage is induced in the secondary. By means of the condenser connected across the interupter terminals, the induced emf in the primary forms a decaying sinusoid."</i>. He does not mention tuned circuit but that is what it is. This description is essentially correct.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Interestingly before this fragment, he states, <i>"Every time the circuit is made, the condensor causes the primary current to take a considerable fraction of time to grow"</i>. But this cannot be correct as the capacitor (condensor in his parlance) is short circuited by the contacts at this point.-<a href="/wiki/User:Elektrik_Fanne" title="User:Elektrik Fanne">Elektrik Fanne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Elektrik_Fanne" title="User talk:Elektrik Fanne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Induction_coil#c-Elektrik_Fanne-2016-03-17T16:34:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:34, 17 March 2016 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Elektrik_Fanne-2016-03-17T16:34:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Elektrik_Fanne-2016-03-17T16:34:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-16T19:57:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Glrx-2016-03-17T21:06:00.000Z-Elektrik_Fanne-2016-03-17T16:34:00.000Z"></span>I've reverted your additions because they do not add sources.</dd> <dd>Your first paragraph above is confused: at contact break, "a small spark still occurs at the interrupter contacts as the current changes direction." If the capacitor looks like short circuit, then the voltage across the contacts at separation is zero. There's not enough of an electric field to generate an arc. Also, if there were an arc, then it would consume all of the available current; consequently no current flows into the capacitor and the voltage across the capacitor/contacts/primary would not jump. A break arc is a performance killer to an induction coil.</dd> <dd>There is a problem with using capacitor contact protection. After the contacts open, the capacitor stores energy as it charges to a high potential. When the interrupter finishes, the contacts approach each other. Now the electric field gets high enough to cause an arc, and the energy of the arc damages the contacts. See <i>Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems</i>, Henry Ott, 1976, John Wiley, pp 181-194. At page 189, Ott explains a large capacitance across the contacts will supress the break arc. Ott goes on to say, "The larger the value of the capacitor and the higher the supply voltage, the more damage the arc on "make" does, due to the increased energy stored in the capacitor."</dd> <dd><i>The Boy Electrician</i> is not a reliable source — especially if you condemn its teaching in the next paragraph.</dd> <dd>I agree that an inductor, a capacitor, and internal resistance will form a damped sinusoid. The problem is that characterization ignores the arc in the secondary. When the arc ignites, energy is being stolen from the tank. That raises a lot of issues. The interesting stuff in an induction coil happens during flyback — before the damped part of a damped sinusoid is manifest. The arc ignites at a high voltage, but the arc will continue to conduct until a much lower voltage. In a well-designed induction coil, what happens? Does the initial strike take so much energy out of the system that the points will not arc again? If that is the case, then there will be a damped sinusoid due to the primary, but the voltage level where it happens is uninteresting to the induction coil.</dd> <dd>If we go to the source for a picture in the article, <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=e-hMAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA3&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false">https://books.google.com/books?id=e-hMAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA3&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false</a>, it does not show a damped sign wave. Neither does the similar illustration at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.alternative-technologies.org/articles/induction-coil/">http://www.alternative-technologies.org/articles/induction-coil/</a> which shows repetition.</dd> <dd>The purpose of the capacitor is much more involved.</dd> <dd>E. Taylor-Jones, <i>The Theory of the Induction Coil</i>, 1921, Pitman & Sons, <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=asxBAQAAIAAJ&pg=PR10&lpg=PR10&source=bl&hl=en&f=false">https://books.google.com/books?id=asxBAQAAIAAJ&pg=PR10&lpg=PR10&source=bl&hl=en&f=false</a></dd> <dd>At page 17, under the Rayleigh theory, "the only use of the primary condensor is to check the formation of an arc at the interrupter". (It goes on to say that the condensor quickens the break, but that sentence can be misread.) (The page also describes some interesting experiments of breaking primary current without the usual condensor: for example, breaking the primary with a rifle bullet.)</dd> <dd>Taylor-Jones has a transformer oscillator theory of the induction coil. See page 18; also fig. 8 on p 38. I get the sense that Taylor-Jones is usually describing systems without an arc because he's describing his theory.

The secondary would also have a decaying sine wave voltage - assuming that the insulation of the coil does not break down. Once a spark gap is connected, the voltage regulating effect of the spark modifies the voltage that appears across the secondary (and consequenty the primary). Because of the negative dynamic resistance of the spark, the secondary voltage rises to the point where the spark gap breaks down, but the negative resistance causes the voltage to fall to a lower level where it is more or less maintained untill the voltage falls below the extinguishing point. The voltage then follows the decaying sine wave as the spark gap no longer affects it. The primary current (for which I cannot find an oscillogram) is a decaying sine wave from when the contacts open. The current waveforms never mimick the voltage in these types of circuit.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>Of your four references above, the first was written in 1922 and predates the invention of the oscilloscope, so any oscillograms that it contains are pure conjecture. Your second ref suffers from the same problem having been written in 1916. Same for the third (1921). I cannot open the Google books refs so they are unverifiable. Your fourth reference contains poor quality illustrations - it's not clear whether they are annotated photographs or photographs of a blackboard. In any case they clearly show a decaying sine wave, something that requires a tuned circuit. My quote above from J W Simm's book was from the seventh edition published in 1955. I also havethe fourth edition publishd in 1933. Interestingly, this edition does not mention the decaying sine wave. Was it that, the authors of these early works thought mentioning it was unnecessary or was it that the true circuit operation was unknown?</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>A petrol engine ignition system is, from a circuit viewpoint, identical to these induction coils - the only difference is that the interupter is moved to a separately driven contact breaker (something that was done for larger induction coils anyway).

There is no peer review. There's no guarantee that such an induction coil had been well designed. I could guarantee a break arc by choosing a small capacitor, but that does not mean such a capacitance is a good design choice for an induction coil. The section above, <a href="#Major_rewrite_required.">#Major rewrite required.</a>, suggests there is a series of diminishing sparks. I believe such coils exist, but I suspect they are either misadjusted or misdesigned. If enough energy is left over after the first spark to create another one, then either the gap could be increased or the input energy could be decreased.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>I have not disputed the presence of a decaying sine wave. There's going to be a little energy left in the system after the spark extinguishes, no energy is being added, so the system would show a decaying oscillation. The question is the relevance. Yes, the coil flyback is important, but that is before the decayed ringing is manifest. The energy loss in the arc is far more significant in the explanation. The ringing shown in the Pico ref figure 1.1 is at less than 1/36 of the initial stored energy (ignite at 12 kV, 3.5 kHz ring peak at 2 kV). No voltage ringing is present during the 1 ms duration spark. Your quest for a primary current diagram is apparently to show an alleged ringing at 3.5 kHz. To first order, such ringing would not be present: the spark has has shorted out the tank and killed the Q. (See also tightly coupled ignition coi issue below.)</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>A reliable reference about contact protection describes that capacitor-protected contacts incur damage on make rather than break. A reliable reference about induction coils that states a significant purpose of the capacitor is to check the arc at the interrupter. You have asserted that there is a break arc. What causes that arc to extinguish? If there's enough current to sustain a secondary arc, then there's more than enough current in the primary to sustain one. How much energy would that primary arc consume? Would it limit the primary voltage? A break arc is death.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>"Pure conjecture"?

The sine wave obviously decays faster if the secondary is loaded. The spark gap, as noted above, is a negative resistance, and consequently holds the initial cycle of secondary current (and hence voltage) up for longer than would otherwise be the case. But it cannot hold up the current in the primary. This has to fall to zero as soon as the capacitor is charged (and then reverse as it starts to charge the primary inductance in the opposite direction). The primary current will be an exponentially decaying sine wave regardless of the characteristic of the secondary load. The rate of decay is faster as energy is coupled out to the spark but the rate of decay falls once the spark extinguishes. The loose coupling of the primary and secondary allows the current waveforms to be different.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>By the way, the modus operandi of a motor car ignition coil is exactly the same as the subject induction coil. Even as late as the 1960's they generally did not have closed magnetic circuits. Most modern coils do have closed circuits (and some even have permanent magnets embedded). But the primary and secondary cannot be tightly coupled. One technique often used is to wind the secondary onto the magnetic core first, and place the primary on top, but with a space between the windings. By this means the coupling can be controlled and designed for the greatest efficiency of spark. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/85.255.232.25" title="Special:Contributions/85.255.232.25">85.255.232.25</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:85.255.232.25" title="User talk:85.255.232.25">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Induction_coil#c-85.255.232.25-2016-03-20T09:55:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-18T19:56:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-85.255.232.25-2016-03-20T09:55:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-18T19:56:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-85.255.232.25-2016-03-20T09:55:00.000Z-Glrx-2016-03-18T19:56:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Induction_coil&oldid=710993992">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Induction_coil&oldid=710993992</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_electrical_engineering_articles" title="Category:C-Class electrical engineering articles">C-Class electrical engineering articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Unknown-importance_electrical_engineering_articles" title="Category:Unknown-importance electrical engineering articles">Unknown-importance electrical engineering articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Electrical_engineering_articles" title="Category:Electrical engineering articles">Electrical engineering articles</a></li></ul></div><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden category: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Articles_with_WikiProject_banners_but_without_a_banner_shell" title="Category:Articles with WikiProject banners but without a banner shell">Articles with WikiProject banners but without a banner shell</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 20 March 2016, at 09:55<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright"><span class="nowraplinks">This version of the page has been <a href="/wiki/Help:Page_history" title="Help:Page history">revised</a>.
