In an electric fan, which component is responsible for starting the motor?
medium Q5 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify starting mechanism of fan motor
Capacitors provide the necessary phase shift to start single-phase induction motors in fans.Step 2: Eliminate unrelated components
Thermostat controls temperature, compressor is for refrigeration, filament is part of a bulb.Final Answer:
Capacitor → Option BQuick Check:
Fan motor starting component = capacitor ✅
Quick Trick: Capacitors help start and run single-phase motors in fans.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing capacitor with thermostat or compressor functions.
