\mathrm{ \begin{aligned} & \tan \phi=\frac{X_L}{R}=\frac{\omega L}{R}=\frac{2 \pi \times 50 \times 0.7}{220}=1 \\ & \Rightarrow \phi=45^{\circ} \text { and } Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2}=\sqrt{220^2+220^2}=220 \sqrt{2} \Omega \end{aligned}}

Wattless component of current = \mathrm{I_V \sin \phi }

\mathrm{=\frac{E_v}{Z} \sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{220}{220 \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0.5 \mathrm{~A} }
