Default Electronics question...drawing a blank..

Sorry guys, I've done a lot with electronics over the years but its been a minute since I've had to think about this.

If you have voltage going to two items(coils in this case), wired in series would each coil see the same input voltage or would it be split? Is Parallel wiring where it would be cut in half or...?

Thanx!

voltage is constant in parallell.there would be a drop if wired in series.

If the two coils are in series, and the coils are the same, they will each see the same input voltage (half of the total voltage).
