  "term": "Coil",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A passive electrical component formed by winding a conductor, such as wire, into a spiral or helical shape. This configuration creates an inductor, which stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through it. Coils are fundamental components in transformers, relays, and solenoids, with their inductance measured in henries (H).",
