The induced emf in a 3.3 kV , 4-pole, 3-phase, star-connected synchronous motor is considered to be equal and in phase with the terminal voltage under no load condition. On application of a mechanical load, the induced emf phasor is deflected by an angle of $2^{\circ}$ mechanical with respect to the terminal voltage phasor. If the synchronous reactance is $2 \Omega$, and stator resistance is negligible, then the motor armature current magnitude, in ampere, during loaded condition, is closest to __________ .

An alternator with an internal voltage of $1 \delta_1$ pu and synchronous reactance of 0.4 pu is connected by a transmission line of reactance 0.1 pu to a synchronous motor having synchronous reactance 0.35 pu and internal voltage of $0.85 \delta_2 \mathrm{pu}$. If the real power supplied by the alternator is 0.866 pu , then ( $\delta_1-\delta_2$ ) is $\_\_\_\_$ degrees (Round off to 2 decimal places). (Machines are of non-salient type. Neglect resistances)
