The sequence of events that produce ignition spark are actually
electromagnetic.  When distributor points are closed the circuit through the
coil is closed and a magnetic field is formed around the carbon core in the
coil.  When the points open the circuit through the coil is broken and the
magnetic field collapses on the carbon core.  This collapse of the magnetic
field produces the charge that is then discharged to the distributor cap.

Best regards,

Tom
