Induced V, due to self inductance?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In a DC circuit, when current begins to flow, it takes time to reach its maximum value due to self-inductance, which induces a negative voltage (-V) opposing the change in current. This induced voltage results from the increasing magnetic field and changing magnetic flux. Once the current stabilizes at time t0, the induced voltage due to self-inductance becomes zero. The power supply compensates for the induced -V by applying additional voltage to maintain current flow.

In a DC circuit(Yes, keep going), when current starts to flow, and that current needs a bit of time to stabilize to its maximum value. Since there is change in current(increase) there is an increasing magnetic field, a changing flux... that will induce a -V to the circuit. Eventually when current stabilizes at t0, the induced V due to self inductance = 0 right?

But, how does current stabilize when there is that -V opposing it? Would the PS apply more voltage?
