The ignition switch controls the availability of voltage to the positive side of the ignition coil. This occurs anytime the ignition switch is in the start or run position. When the ignition switch is in the accessory position, there is no voltage supplied to the coil thus limiting the amount of energy draining from the battery while someone just listens to the radio.
