You will. You reallllllly will.
Well, I got bored, so I felt like turning nerd hour back on. AAAAND here is your answer. Yes, a dc 1.5 ohm carto WILL pull 24 watts (assuming the battery can handle it). Each coil must drop the full 6v if they are wired in parallel. At 6v, your total circuit current is divided equally over each coil (assuming they are exactly the same resistance). So, since you have two 3ohm coils in parallel, the battery sees a total circuit resistance of 1.5ohms, leaving you with a total circuit current of 4amps, with each coil drawing 2amps each. Now, each coil at 6v, 3ohms, 2amps, gives you 12 watts per coil. Current in parallel circuits is additive. So, the battery does see 24watts. Which is why most people will say dont use a dc over 4v or so.
Look! I even took the time to make a not so purdy piktur!!!
ummm... gimmie a minute to get the picture up.
HERE is the picture:![]()
I don't see any legs..I see a bunch of foreign language and a big yellow circle.
My Pina Colada is gonna be here tomorrow!
Makes me feel like this..
