Capacitor helps a motor generate a starting torque. once the torque is produced and motor rotates capacitor acts as a current path. technically capacitor creates a phase difference.

How do you fix the run capacitor on a ceiling fan?
Be certain to observe the exact same polarity as the old one. A capacitor does have plus and minus leads. Should an old defective ceiling fan transformer be replaced by a capacitor?
Can you do without a capacitor in a ceiling fan?
No, it is the capacitors effect upon the motor's winding that starts the fan to turn.
What kind of motor is used in ceiling fan?
electric

Does ceiling fan consume less electricity on high speed?
Ceiling fans use less electricity on low speed than they do on medium and high speed. Capacitors are used to control the various fan speeds. The capacitor limits the amount of electricity supplied to the fan motor. When less electricity is sent to the windings in the motor, the fan spins at a lower RPM. The result is a slower speed and less airflow. However, some fans move almost no air at low speeds, so it is important to know what the CFM/watts is for the ceiling fan in question so you can compare the performance at any given speed relative to the amount of electricity used
What type of motor is used in a fan?
A capacitor start motor is used in a ceiling fan.
Capacitor?
capacitor is a power cell used to generate electricity in the motor of ceiling fan
Where is the fan capacitor?
If you are referring to a ceiling fan it is in the bell housing where the fan connects to the electrical box at ceiling level.

If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise

How do you connect ceiling fan used at home to a capacitor?
typically, you don't attach capacitors to ceiling fans ( 120V or 240V ). A capacitor would only be used for one of two reasons. 1. to reduce the noise on the AC in your home or 2. to reduce the spikes to your fan... neither of these make any sense.
Can a ceiling fan capacitor hold a charge after power is removed?
A capacitor always stores charges unless its damaged
What are ceiling fan capacitors for?
There are a variety of capacitor sizes in ceiling fans. The capacitor is dependant upon the characteristics of the fans motor. Whether it is a single speed, two speed or three speed. If you think it is the capacitor at fault for the fan not operating, take the fan down and open it up. This will give you the exact sizing for your fan.See sources and related links below.
Can you do without a capacitor in a ceiling fan?
No, it is the capacitors effect upon the motor's winding that starts the fan to turn.
How do you use capicitor in FAN?
The capacitor in a ceiling fan is a small fuse like device which helps the fan to slow down or rotate faster. It is normally inserted into the ceiling unit of fan just about the fins.
Can turning a ceiling fan generate electricity by hand turning it?
Probably not. A ceiling fan's motor converts electricity into mechanical motion. While many electrical motors can also be run as generators ceiling fan designers most likely wouldn't include that feature in designs. Ceiling fans also have a capacitor to help generate enough torque to start a fan. Sending electricity back through a capacitor in the opposite direction is not recommended.
