When the simulator starts up, there is 5v across the inductor, and no current. The inductor responds by storing the electrical energy within it to the particular initial instantaneous polarity of the current, and releases the stored energy back into the circuit as soon as the polarity of the current is reversed or the electrical supply is switched off.
In this tutorial, we perform the ac analysis up to computing the frequency. An inductor is an electrical device used in electrical circuits because of magnetic charge an inductor is usually made from a coil of conducting material, like copper wire, that is then wrapped around a core made from either air or a magnetic metal. The critical inductance current is shown in figure 88, 8b and is realized in equation 83. The magnitude of this opposing response or force of an inductor to an ac or alternating current is called the reactance of the inductor. But the inductor will respond by effectively converting the kinetic energy of the current into magnetic energy. Then, if switch 1 is instantly opened and switch 2 is instantly closed, the inductor discharges through the resistor.
