Why do we use capacitor in the ceiling fan?

You see, a ceiling fan is like a stubborn mule that refuses to start moving without a little push. That's where the capacitor comes in. It's like the caffeine shot that gives the fan motor the energy boost it needs to start spinning. 

Think of it like this: when you turn on the fan, the capacitor stores electrical energy and then releases it in a controlled manner to start the motor. It's like a tiny cheerleader, shouting "Go! Go! Go!" to the motor, giving it the initial torque to overcome its inertia and start spinning those blades. 

Without the capacitor, the fan would just sit there, looking at you with a blank expression, wondering why you're not giving it the push it needs. So, the capacitor is the unsung hero of the ceiling fan world, providing that crucial jolt of energy to get things moving.
