How much can I disclose?

From this schematic ( I hope it is readable ), I can determine R total as:


1 / 14 + 1 / 21 = 1 / .119 = 8.4 Ohms. The current in this circuit is:

I = 8 / 8.4 = 952 mA (800 mA actual reading).



Question: From this data, can I determine the available current in the secondary?



952 mA is the apparent current but, the actual available secondary current is much, much, higher.
