The magnetic field in a magneto system is created by which component?

In a magneto system, the magnetic field is primarily generated by permanent magnets. Permanent magnets are made from materials that have a consistent magnetic alignment, creating a stable magnetic field that does not require electrical power to maintain. This magnetic field is essential for the operation of the magneto, as it interacts with the coil of wire to induce voltage when the crankshaft rotates, thereby generating electrical energy for ignition.

The coil wire, while crucial in the magneto system as it helps in the transformation of magnetic energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction, does not create the magnetic field itself. Similarly, transformers and induction motors serve different functions; transformers are used to change voltage levels in alternating current (AC) systems, and induction motors are utilized for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, but neither provides the necessary magnetic field for the operation of a magneto.
