What is another word for field coil?
Pronunciation: [fˈiːld kˈɔ͡ɪl] (IPA) 
A field coil is an electromagnet that generates the magnetic field in an electric motor or generator. It is a coiled wire that is wrapped around a magnetic core, creating a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. Some synonyms for the term field coil include armature coil, stator coil, or exciter coil. The term armature coil refers to the coil that is wound around the armature of a motor or generator, while stator coil refers to the stationary coil that creates a magnetic field in a rotating field motor. Exciter coil is a term used for the coil that creates an electromagnetic field in generators or motors. Despite having different names, these coils all perform the same function of creating a magnetic field in an electric motor or generator.
