Answer

The two phasors have the same length when $~~f_d = 159~Hz$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for $V_R$: $V_R= I_R~R$ We can write an expression for $V_C$: $V_C= I_C~X_C$ We can equate the two expressions to find $f_d$: $V_R = V_C$ $I_R~R = I_C~X_C$ $R = X_C$ $R = \frac{1}{\omega_d~C}$ $R = \frac{1}{2\pi~f_d~C}$ $f_d = \frac{1}{2\pi~R~C}$ $f_d = \frac{1}{(2\pi)~(50.0~\Omega)~(20.0\times 10^{-6}~F)}$ $f_d = 159~Hz$ The two phasors have the same length when $~~f_d = 159~Hz$
