Please don't use a car's ignition coil as an example. Let's just say it's an ordinary transformer. If you connect 1800 volts AC to one side of the transformer and you get 12 volts out of the other side, then the turns of wire are in the same ratio as the voltages ... 1800/12 = 150.
A car coil doesn't work like an ordinary transformer. In a car, you put 12-volt pulses into one side, and you get voltage out of the other side that's high enough to fire spark plugs and ignite gasoline.
So you've actually got the primary and secondary windings labeled in reverse in the question, and you're actually using it as a step-DOWN transformer.

ANSWER:

The easiest way to get a fairly accurate measure of your water flow rate is to time yourself filling up a bucket. So for example if you fill up a 10 litre bucket in 1.5 minutes, then your flow rate will be: 10/1.5 = 6.66 Litres per minute.

1) they are attracting because if you look at the arrows they’re all pointing the same way.

2) if the magnet was turned around they would do the opposite and not attract ( this is called repulsion)

3) magnetic pole

4)magnet

5) magnetic force

6) magnetism

Hope this helps
