Alternating Current

Solution:

$V=-L(d i / d t), V$ is proportional to the slope of the $i-t$ graph, which is constant and positive for the first half $(0$ to $T / 2)$ and negative and constant for the second half $(T / 2$ to $T$ ).
$|V|=L(d i / d t)$ in this case.
For first half $V$ is -ve and for the second half it is + ve.
