Electric Current

If current is...

Question

If current is alternating at our homes so our fans also run back and forth why isn't a fan do that.

Open in App

Solution

current at our home is ac . but it is converted to dc in fan with a device called capacitor. so dc is used by the fan for its working

Q. A fan operates at

200 V

1000 W

when running at full speed. Its internal wiring has resistance

1 Ω

. When the fan runs at full speed, its speed becomes constant. This is because the torque due to magnetic field inside the fan is balanced by the torque due to air resistance on the blades of the fan and the torque due to friction between the fixed part and the shaft of the fan. The electric power going into the fan is spent (i) in the internal resistance as heat, call it

P_{1}

, (ii) in doing work against internal friction and air resistance producing heat, sound, etc., call it

P_{2}

. When the coil of fan rotates, an emf is also induced in the coil. This opposes the external emf is also induced in the coil. This opposes the external emf applied to send the current to the fan. This emf is called back emf, call it
