The reason I assumed that is this assertion by W7EL.
"This is the total current. It has magnitude and phase
like any other phasor, and the same rotational speed
as its components."

The total current, as graphed by Kraus and displayed
by EZNEC *DOES NOT* have the same rotational speed as
its components. It is obvious that Roy meant the
same direction when he said "same rotational speed".

EZNEC does not display "rotational speed". The user sets the rotational
speed of all voltage, current, and field phasors by choosing the
frequency, and it remains constant at that rate for all voltages,
currents, and E and H fields. The "direction" of the rotation is always
forward in time; it does not stop in time nor reverse and go backward in
time. This should be obvious to anyone who has taken a beginning course
in circuit analysis.
