Okay, I will take the bait and demonstrate my ignorance:

EZNEC says the current flowing into the bottom of the coil
is 0.1168 amps and the current flowing out of the top of
the coil is 0.748 amps. Say what? How can more current
flow out of a coil than is flowing in? Aren't those two
currents supposed to be equal? What gives?

I thought the power was constant, not the current. If that is the
case, then IE must be constant and therefore the current must go up
where the volts go down.

I would appreciate the EZNEC copies because I learn easiest by
examples and I am interested in how you put the comparison together.
