No, these are not the same thing.

An Earth Strap is a flat tinned copper braid cable that generally runs from the battery to the chassis ground on some cars. Looks like this:



An ignition coil wire is the wire that runs from your ignition coil to your distributor. It carries high-voltage current.

So do u know what's the function of those?

In essence, the coil wire increase spark energy to the spark plug and the ground strap just groud your engine more to provide a better noise free signal to and from the critical electronics components.
