Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Take a coil of mH and a capacitor of F. At what frequency do they have the same reactance? How large is that reactance?
A phasor turns at . Its length is the peak value, and the angle between two phasors is the phase difference . A phase is a time delay . Voltages in series add as arrows, tip to tail. The reactances are and .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Equal reactances. means . So .
Step 2. The angular frequency. We want , so rad/s.
Step 3. The frequency. Hz.
Step 4. The reactance. .
Answer: Hz, and for each.
Check. . It fits. Below this frequency the capacitor has the larger reactance, and above it the coil has.
