Inductor in AC circuit

The inductor would delay the change in current. Here is how it works... It takes time for its magnetic field to build up so less current flow through for that period of time... when the power is switched off, the magnetic field would power the inductor and the circuit would remain on for a while more. In this circuit, the inductor is connected to the Alternating current (AC) source... when it is switched on, the AC source would power the inductor as it builds up its field... when the AC source starts to reduce its voltage, the magnetic field in the inductor would power the circuit. This cycle would repeat... you could look at the delay in the graph. Current: green Voltage: blue I do hope you all enjoy and understand how an inductor works... pls comment and bookmark 😃
