I want to know about the Coil Wiring adn its diagram. Please share information about it. Thanks!

An ignition coil is an autotransformer with a high ratio of minor to main windings. By "Autotransformer", I intend that the main and minor windings are not truly split - they share a small number of the windings. The ratio of minor to main turns in an ignition coil is somewhere near 100:1. The ignition coil is worked directly off a 12 volt source. However, the ignition coil does not work like a common transformer. A common transformer will generate output current at the same instance that input current is applied. An ignition coil usually does most of its work simulating as an inductor. When the ignition coil is attached to the electric battery, the inductor is 'charged' with current. It takes number of milliseconds for the current to make the magnetic field - this on account of undo voltage produced by the advance in magnetic field. During this short charging time, possibly a 1000 volts are generated at the high voltage terminal, not adequate to actually make a spark.
The real spark is produced when the breaker contacts open. For a faultless inductor, the current and voltage link by:
V = L dI Where V is voltage, L is inductance (in henrys) and dI is the rate of change of the current.
Unexpected change in current will create a very large voltage to be generated. This creates a very short, very high voltage spike. Of course, the change in current is on the main side, but because the main and minor coils have a large mutual inductance, you get a spike on the rank of 100 or more volts on the main, and 10000 volts on the secondary. Even the main side of the coil can give you a bit of a jolt if you retain the wires wile disconnecting power. You also note that any acquaintances you will use will get many of sparks, in addition on account of this.
A less theoretical way of watching at it is that disconnect the source of the current that will source the magnetic field in the coil to topple (because none is impelling it magnetic anymore), and the quick change of magnetic paddock in turn induces a large voltage in the windings.
