SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the discontinuity observed in the voltage graphs ##V_1## and ##V_2## as they intersect the time axis during the analysis of a bullet passing through metal coils. Participants conclude that the discontinuity is likely a drawing issue rather than a physical phenomenon, as the induced voltage is proportional to the continuous change in the magnetic field (B-field) through the loops. For further clarification, it is suggested that students consult a teaching assistant (TA) or professor for additional insights.
