Hi Ravi...Since I am new to coiling myself I hesitate to say this, 
but.....from the questions your asking it is obvious that you know very 
little about things electrical and especially high voltage.  I cannot 
stress enough the importance of much more studying on your part before 
attempting to play with things that can kill you.  I say this only to 
stress the importance of safety and your need to practice all the safety 
procedures possible. If you have an adult to help with this project I would 
advise doing so.  I don't mean to discourage you and I applaud your 
interest in learning, just be careful. To answer your question your NST 
should have two sets of terminals for connection of wires. One set will be 
bigger than the other and have large ceramic (glass) insulators. This set 
of terminals is the secondary or high voltage output of the NST and the 
smaller set of terminals is the primary or the low voltage input 
connection.  I hope this helps you and I hope I haven't hurt your feelings. 
I just don't want you to get hurt.

Emmett
