If an $AC$ main supply is given to be $220 \ V$,what would be the average e.m.f. during a positive half cycle?

In an $A.C.$ circuit,the instantaneous current and $E.M.F.$ are represented as $i = i_0 \sin(\omega t - \frac{\pi}{6})$ and $E = E_0 \sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3})$ respectively. The voltage leads the current by
