The AC current grows gradually when an inductive circuit is switched on. This specific current, also know as a electromagnetic field, is slowly growing, then shrinking, and changing, because of the wire current.
It depends on the nature of the circuit. In a purely-resistive circuit, the current would rise immediately because resistance merely limits its value, it doesn't oppose any change in current. But in a resistive-inductive circuit, for example, the inductive component opposes any change in current, so the current will rise more gradually.
The load current will lag the supply voltage by an angle called a 'phase angle', determined by the values of resistance and inductive reactance. The magnitude of the load current will be determined by the impedance of the circuit, which is the vector sum of the resistance and inductive reactance.
Voltage leads current or, more specifically current lags voltage, in an inductive circuit. This is because an inductor resists a change in current.
Inductive. Used to remember this by "Eli" the "ice" man. "(e) Voltage (l) (Inductive circuit) (i) current", the ,"(i) Current (c) (capacitive circuit) (e) voltage, man.
It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!
Inductive. Voltage (E) leads current (I) in an inductive (L) circuit and current (I) leads voltage (E) in a capacitive (C) circuit. (ELI the ICEman)

Current lags voltage in an inductive circuit. The angle by which it lags depends on the frequency of the AC, and on the relative size of the inductance compared to the resistance in the circuit.
The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely inductive circuit, under ideal circumstances where there is no resistance at all, is 90 degrees.
Back EMF.
when inductive load is switched off then current decreases as a result emf induced in the inductor or as whole of the circuit. There is air between switch and circuit wire. Emf tends to jump from higher pd to lower pd so air become ionised and spark is prouced

An inductive load can cause current to lag voltage in an AC circuit. An increase in resistance will decrease amount of current flow.
Current Flow I believe.

In a pure inductive circuit, the relationship between current and voltage is such that the current lags behind the voltage by a phase angle of 90 degrees. This means that the current and voltage are out of phase with each other, with the current reaching its peak value after the voltage has reached its peak value.
