Battery Coil Ignition System
Law of mutual induction: When two coils are brought in proximity to each other, the magnetic field in
one of the coils tends to link with the other. This further leads to the generation of voltage in the second
coil. This property of a coil which affects or changes the current and voltage in a secondary coil is
called mutual inductance.

Working of Battery Coil Ignition System
When the ignition switch, the contact breaker closes, a low voltage
current will flow through the primary winding. When the contact
breaker opens the contact, the magnetic field begins to collapse.
Because of this collapsing magnetic field, current will be induced in
the secondary winding. Because of more turns of secondary, the
voltage goes upto 20000-35000 volts.
This high voltage current is brought to centre of the distributor rotor.
Distributor rotor rotates and supplies this high voltage current to the
spark plug depending upon the engine firing order. When the high
voltage current jumps the spark plug gap, it produces the spark.
When compared to the magneto ignition system, the battery ignition
system is more expensive but at the same time it is highly reliable.

Applications
The electronic ignition system is used in modern and hypercars
like Audi A4, Mahindra XUV-500 and bikes like KTM duke
390cc, Ducati super sports to meet the high reliability and
performance need .
It is also used in aircrafts engine due to its better reliability and
less maintenance
