secondary coil
secondary winding
secondary | coil such that current is induced in it by passing a current through the primary coil |
| spark coil | an induction coil used to create sparks |
stator
stator coil | mechanical device consisting of the stationary part of a motor or generator in or around which the rotor revolves |

| blighty wound | a wound that would cause an English soldier to be sent home from service abroad |
| flesh wound | a wound that does not damage important internal organs or shatter any bones |
| wound | a figurative injury (to your feelings or pride), he feared that mentioning it might reopen the wound, deep in her breast lives the silent wound, The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound--that he will never get over it--Robert Frost |
