This may be a stupid question, but here is what I am asking. Using a very simple circuit, say 120v AC water heating element rated at 1000 watts meaning 120v AC hot leg on 1 terminal and a neutral on the other terminal. That would give 8.3 amps of current, meaning the resistance would be 14.4...

I regret posting anything, please remove, thank you

I'm sorry, there is no links, through different experiments I have seen things that could point to a difference of opinion on current movement and what magnetic fields are created. That is why I have been reading from this forum for several years and decided to post some questions. Not trying...

It seems as if everyone has missed what I am getting at, Sorry In the diagram just think of it with 1 coil at a time and think of the coils as multi turn coils. the positive side of the coil and the negative side of the coil stay the same for each coil whens its being power but the 2 coils...

Excuse me if my terminology is not correct. Again, You missed my point about current flow direction and the magnetic field it creates. current direction is usually based on the direction of the magnetic field lines, or poles, correct? My point is a DC current used to create opposite magnetic...

That part I understand, I think you missed my point. Read my post again, its about the magnetic fields

How about this

OK, so my last post seemed meaningless. Can anyone help with this, I understand some of you say current moves from the positive terminal of a battery to the negative terminal and some say the opposite. Lets say it is positive to negative just for this question. If I have a battery that the...

I am new here and I am not going to say I have any formal schooling in physics or electrical engineering. I have been in the automotive field for almost 40 years. What I am getting at is, myself and my research partner came across a very unusual circuit about 4 years ago. We spent about 3 years...
