And a little more theory.
A voltage is generated when there is relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field. That is why generators have to rotate.
Since AC current alternates it creates a magnetic field in a coil that goes from a + to - polarity. It does this across the conductors of the coil ( you now have a conductor with relative motion to a magnetic field) so a voltage that opposes the original voltage is generated in the coil. This causes a resistance to the flow of the original current source that is called inductive reactance since we are not dealing with a DC current.
I hope this helps.
