- I know, people come up with answers such as, if it were the case that two inductors make current lag by 180 degrees, then it would be possible that you cut down a big inductor, which would make a lag of 90 degrees, and make a current lag of 180 degrees with the smaller inductors. Yeah I understand that is the logical answer but I wanna know what in fact happens in the inductors!
This says,
If so, then why wouldn't two inductors provide two walls and make the current lag by 180 degrees?

When you apply a voltage to an inductor, you make a magnetic field. Henceforth, if the magnetic field varies with respect to time, there is an electric field that opposes the magnetic field inside the inductor. In other words, the electric field generated by the voltage behaves like a wall to the magnetic field generated by the current.
