Question

    What component is traditionally used to regulate the speed of a ceiling fan?

    A Inductor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Capacitor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Resistor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Diode Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A resistor serves as the conventional component for regulating fan speed. By adjusting the resistance, the voltage across the fan alters, thereby controlling its speed. Higher resistance leads to a lower fan speed due to the increased voltage drop.
