How can the current be larger on the bottom of the secondary if it's just a continuous wire? Shouldn't the amps flowing on the bottom be the the same amps going to the topload?
the current would be uniform if there was no capacitance from the winding to ground. In reality, though, there is essentially a tiny capacitor from each turn to ground (as well as to adjacent turns). You see this in the models as "self C" of the secondary (often computed by Medhurst's formula)
