Coil
Thanks for all your help with my other question.
Now I have a new one. It's the word "coil". I found bobina and carrete, but I just want to check if they are right. The coil I want to say is a device used in electronics. It's usually a little tube wrapped with copper wire on the outside. Here's a picture of one I found. This shows a homemade coil and the cardboard tube used to make it. http://205.243.100.155/frames/WorkCoil1.jpg |
I guess if you move a lodestone into the shown device you produce an electrical current. If so, it's called bobina, at least in Spain. I don't think carrete is a good option, although it's a carrete as well.
If it's made to take advantage of a different characteristic, as it resistance, then it's called resistencia. But I guess you already know what a resistencia is. I would say this is a bobina. -Corrected thanks to David- |

inductor o bobina. Use bobina asking for a spare piece, inductor is more technical.
greetings :D |
Thanks for the replies so far.
@Alfonso, by lodestone, you mean magnet? so just to confirm, I can call it a bobina or inductor? Thanks. |
you can use both, but use bobina asking for a spare part and inductor is a term for technical books. A technical man must know both.
greetings :D |
Yes, I mean magnet. Don't you use lodestone? I looked it up in the dictionary. That's the point with dictionaries, you never know the frequency of the word.
In Spanish you could say bobina as well as inductor, but I would say inductor refers to the complete device, formed by una bobina externa y un imán u otra bobina interna. |
We never use lodestone. This word is reserved for the original magnet (a naturally occurring highly magnetized metal). Most magnets are manufactured (and are therefore artificial).
One small correction: Quote:
... you could say bobina or inductor ... |
Thanks a lot, Rusty, for your corrections. I have some problems with this structure. I'm opening a new thread to understand it.

Thanks guys, you've helped me out so much.
