Inductor (IND)

Inductor is assumed to be ideal (without resistive or capacitive effects) and is defined by the value of its inductance (in the unit chosen by the user) and the corresponding initial condition (initial current). Note that the dot next to the inductor symbol is used as the positive reference for the initial current (positive current is oriented from the "dotted" terminal toward to "un-dotted" terminal of the inductor, through the inductor). The dot is also used to specify the mutual inductance between two or more inductors and thus determines the "polarized" terminals of the inductors. The default value of the initial current for all inductors is zero. By default the inductance and element ID are displayed next to the component.
