Top Circuit is resistance coil (coil plus resistor) to power 50 volt 10 amp Carbon Arc Health Lamp.  Power calculation is:

110 volts times 10 amps = 1100 watts.

Bottom Circuit is AC Choke Coil or wire wrapped around the leg of laminated iron core.  This looses  50 watts in this circuit.  Power Calculation is:

Carbon Arc Health Lamp at       500 watts
Looses of AC Choke Coil             50 watts
                                                   ===
Total Looses                              550 watts
                                           
Difference between top minus bottom circuit

                                                  550 watts

In simulator bottom circuit, I lowered power line voltage and resistance to show math changes in circuit.  

AC Choke Coil Design has to match voltage requirements of device powered, frequency, current, and wire size in choke coil.
