Does an electromagnet lag its input?

If I'm sending a 60 Hz sine wave to an electromagnet (inductor), then
won't the current through the coil lag the input voltage by 90 deg?
So if the magnetic field depends basically on the current and the
number of turns, the pull of the magnet will lag the input voltage by
a quarter-cycle, won't it?

Because of my application, I'd like for the input wave, as seen on the
scope, to match the timing of the magnetic pull. Is there a way to
compensate for the lag, like with a capacitor or something? Sid
