Inductors impedance depends from the tension variation. So if you use a DC source, there is no variation in the time, so it's a shortcut, experiment to use anothers Waveforms

Its a ideal component with zero resistance. Add a low value resistor in series to simulate reality.

Inductors (pure) present 0 impedance at DC and hence will short the power supply. For AC sources their impedance depends on their inductance and frequency, but inductors will cause shorts in AC sources which i think have some thing to do with DC operating point calculations.

When a voltage is applied to an inductor, the current as it flows through the coils generates a magnetic field, this field cuts the coils in the inductor generating a current in the reverse direction thus presents a resistance to the initial current flowing (back EMF). There comes a time when the initial current cannot generate anymore magnetic field, (for one reason or another the field is saturated) it is at this point that the initial current increases because there is no further resistance against it, if it is allowed to remain there is the chance that the choke will burn out. Chokes used with AC voltage are designed to be used in a set voltage and frequency range, if used outside this range they can burn. Chokes used as DC filters are normally made of few turns of heavy wire, if DC is used with standard AC chokes they will burn them out.
