If i take 10 100 turn coils and connect them in series and there resistance is such that my supply provides 10V @ 1A, then each coil would provide 100 amp-turns of electromagnetic potential, 1000 amp-turns total. If then I remove 9 coils and replace them with a resistor so that my supply still provides 10V @ 1A, my cost has not changed but I have given up 900 amp-turns of electromagnetic potential.
If I compare that to a hydraulic system of 10 pistons then if all the pistons are connected in series and to the same load my pump must provide not only the pressure but the volume of fluid that is needed for each piston, if I remove 9 pistons then my pump volume goes down to 1\10 and all things are happy and no extra resistor is needed.
If i have a given inductor and it sees a given change in flux density then a given quantity of charge carriers will move, with no resistance and no time consideration then they will be moved at zero volts, fluid being squished out of a pipe full of fluid, if you will, will discharge the same amount of fluid regardless of the time it takes to squish the pipe.
