show that power dissipated by a pure inductor exited by a sinusoidal voltage source v = vm sin wt ..

Let Vmcos(wt+X) be the voltage and Imcos(wt+Y) be the current through the inductor.
Now the power is given by
P=V*I=VmImcos(wt+X)cos(wt+Y)
By using a trigonometric identity:
P= 0.5 * VmIm * cos(X-Y) + 0.5 * VmIm * cos(2wt+X+Y)
This expression has 2 terms which both must be zero.
The first term is a constant (independent of time) but notice that in an inductor Voltage leads Current by 90 degrees so X-Y = 90 and cos(90) = 0 so first term is zero.
Now for average power integrate the above expression for a cycle and divide it by time period, since integral of every sinusoid for a complete cycle is zero the next term will essentially be zero too.

So P = 0 for an inductor.
