Question

cant the inductors be used instead of resistances in our home electric supplies?

Answer 1

Inductors store energy in its magnetic field where as resistor does not store energy but rather dissipates energy as heat.
The effect of an inductor in a circuit is to oppose changes in current through it by developing a voltage across it proportional to the rate of change of the current. An ideal inductor would offer no resistance to a constant direct current.
Inductors are used extensively in analog circuits.
