The resultant and equilibrant balance each other. In other words each has exactly the same magnitude but opposite in direction.

Equilibrant is that force which when applied along with all other forces, the net resultant of all forces along with the equilibrant becomes zero in magnitude and direction.
Hence equilibrant is equal and opposite to the resultant of forces when the equilibrant force is absent.
When a body is in equilibrium each force is the equilbrant of all other forces.

They are equal and opposite. They have the same absolute magnitude and point 180 degrees from each other.
