What is use of freewheeling diode?

Freewheeling diode is a diode that is connected across an inductor to eliminate the flyback. Flyback is a brief spike in voltage that happens across an inductive load when the supply current is cut off or reduced suddenly. The switches built within the circuits will be harmed by this voltage spike.
