Where is the copper coil in hot water heaters?

A water heater that is a tank does not have copper coils. If gas fired, there is a burner at the bottom that heats the water in the tank the same way a tea kettle is heated on the stove. An electric heater has two heating elements in the side, top and bottom that heat the water. A tankless water heater has a coil with a flame in the middle that heats the water. This type heats the water as you use it and for as long as you want. An indirectly heated tank has a heat exchange coiled tube (calorifier) mounted inside the skin of the tank. Hot water or steam travels through the tube and radiates heat into the tank water.
