In a capacitor start single-phase motor, when capacitor is replaced by a resistance

A. torque will increase

B. the motor will consume less power

C. motor will run in reverse direction

D. motor will continue to run in same direction

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In a capacitor start single-phase motor, when the capacitor is replaced by a resistance, the motor will continue to run in the same direction.

The capacitor in a single-phase motor is used to create a phase shift for starting torque.

If replaced by a resistance, the phase shift required for starting will not be achieved, resulting in lower starting torque.

However, once the motor is running, it will continue to operate in the same direction as before.

The motor's performance might be less efficient, but the direction of rotation will remain unchanged.

    Explanation: In conclusion, when the capacitor in a capacitor start single-phase motor is replaced by a resistance, the torque produced by the motor will decrease, the power consumption of the motor will increase, and the motor will continue to run in the same direction.
