copper coil

Conductive metal spiral

A copper coil is copper wire wound in a spiral, used in electrical applications like motors, transformers, and inductors.

The coil shape creates electromagnetic properties essential to these devices.

Copper coils also appear in heating and cooling systems, where they transfer heat efficiently.

In another context, a copper coil refers to a copper intrauterine device (IUD) used for contraception.
