27. Obtain the relation for the current I = I0 sin (ωt - π/2) for a pure inductor across which an alternating emf ε = ε0 sin ψt is applied. 


Let,

E = E
0 sin ωt be the alternating voltage applied across an inductor (pure, ideal).

Due the applied e.m.f. a current flows through the coil.

This current produces a magnetic field.

Since the current is alternating the magnetic field will also be changing.

The changing magnetic field produces an e.m.f. in the coil.

According to Lenz’slaw this induced emf is 
opposes the cause producting it. We want a.c to flow through the coil so the applied emf must be equal and opposite to this induced back emf.
