at the 90deg point, the I curve is crossing the zero point. It's a sine
wave. Sine waves of amplitude 1 have a slope of 1 at the zero crossing, no?

Consider a simple inductive cicuit with a 1v(p-to-p) AC source at

The inductors value would be 1ohm=2*pi*1Hz*L, so L= 1/2pi

Looking at the standard Voltage and Current drawings, we see current
lagging voltage by 90degrees.

Here's my problem. At 90 degrees, the applied voltage is 1volt. The
current is zero. di/dt is 1,

Tell me how you arrived at this di/dt.
