Lenz's Law

The induced emf resulting from a
changing magnetic flux
has a polarity that leads to
an induced current whose direction

is such that the induced magnetic field
opposes the original flux.

When the switch is thrown, the current will induce a magnetic field in the coil that will initially oppose the the current. Once the current reaches it's maximum value the induced magnetic field in the coil will cease to exist. Why?
