Why inductor voltage blows up for a current change?

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

Dear All,
This is my first question to the forum.
"Assume there is a + dc voltage across a inductor. So current will continue to increase. Now if the current through the inductor is forced to stop using some means ( eg. Current was flowing in inductor through a ON switch and then switch turns off in no time.) . I know the mathematical reason but I want to understand the physical intuitive reason about why the voltage across the inductor blows up.

Thanks
Abhishek
