Why a spark is produced in a switch sometimes when it is switched off?

An inductor of 10 mH is connected to a 20 V battery through a resistor of 10" k"Omega and a switch. After a long time, when maximum current is set up in the circuit, the current is switched off. The current in the circuit after mu s is (x)/(100) mA Then x is equal to ____________. (Take e^(-1)=0.37 )

In the circuit shown below, all the inductors (assumed ideal) and resistors are identical. The current through the resistance on the right is I after the key K has been switched on for along time. The currents through the three resistors (in order, from left to right) immediately after the key is switched off are -
