Why do we use capacitors on fan blower motors?
Some AC motors are designed to start running as soon as electricity is provided. Other AC motors are designed for a specific purpose and do not start on AC current. They will RUN on AC, but require a DC current to start. Here's where the capacitor comes in. It stores DC power that, when released, starts the motor turning. At this point, AC current will nicely run the motor.
What is meant by DC motor?
Only a DC motor uses direct current, and the reason is that it is the only supply available. There are also plenty of AC motors used when there is an AC supply. DC tends to be used for low-power devices like fans in electronic equipment.

Can you use AC in motor?
AC current is used in motors.
Will an AC electric motor run on DC?
No ... AC means Alternating Current - DC means Direct Current. DC is used mostly for electronics and for voltages within our vehicles. AC is used for motors and for our household appliances and lamps.
Can motor run on ac or dc?
Motors are available that run on either.
Does current flow in all AC motors alternate direction?
Yes, in alternating current (AC) motors, the current flows in alternating directions. This is due to the nature of AC power, where the voltage periodically reverses direction, causing the current to do the same. This alternating current creates a rotating magnetic field that drives the motor's rotor. In contrast, direct current (DC) motors have current that flows in a single direction.
Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?
AC
Can you explain why oil filled capacitors must be used for capacitor run motors instead of the more economical ac electrolytic types?
Electrolytic capacitors cannot be used on an AC (alternating current) system.
What are the different types of motors used in Broan bathroom fans?
The different types of motors used in Broan bathroom fans are typically either AC motors or DC motors. AC motors are more common and are powered by alternating current, while DC motors are powered by direct current. Both types of motors are used in Broan fans to provide efficient and reliable operation.
What type of current is used in an electirc motor?
Well that depends on the type of motor. DC motors use direct current DC and induction motors use alternation current AC.
who is more efficient dc motor or ac motor and why?
DC motors are generally more efficient than AC motors. DC motors have a lower amount of inertial associated with them, making them more efficient to run.
