Inductive load will accumulate stored energy. If an attempt is made to open the switch this energy will arc across the contacts of the switch, and could cause damage to the circuit components. Freewheeling diodes are placed across inductive loads to provide a path for the release of energy stored in the load when the load voltage drops to zero.

Wt is source current and sink current in a DC regulator?

The source current is that current which will leave the DC regulator and travel to the load circuit connected to it. The sink current is that current which may come from the load circuit and attempt to find a path through the ground through the regulator. Generally most regulators are designed to just source current to a load and are not setup to receive current back(sink it)
