A current begins to flow in the opposite direction - at the first moment I = V/R but then it decreases and the capacitor discharges. The voltage diagram begins to descend from position AB and reaches its lowest zero position AC. At the end of the process, the capacitor discharges completely and the current stops.

Suppose you do not have the right capacitors to do the job. There are two configurations to use. Parallel: combing caps in parallel adds there voltage but does not change the voltage rating. Two 10uf caps rated at 100V in parallel is equivalent to one 20uF cap @ 100V. Series: combing caps in series divides the voltage but adds the voltage rating.
Contact UsWhat is the Role of Capacitor in a Ceiling Fan?
The capacitor helps the fan motor to control the inertia of fan blades and causes them to move helping the fan to start fast and smoothly. If there is no capacitor fan can face difficulty starting or also stall causing damage. The capacitor protects the fan motor and other parts of the fan from getting damaged.

Their output (at M1''s gate) is held at approximately the same voltage as the input (modulo the base-emitter voltage), but the BJT''s current gain multiplies the current available from the input. Consequently, you''ll need something connected to the input which can get up to the gate voltage you''ll want to use.

As your capacitor discharges through a fixed resistor it''s voltage will drop, and current drop proportionately, not logarithmically, but not directly either. We know that lower current, obtained by either higher resistance or lower voltage, will result in a slower discharge of the capacitor. We obviously need values to make these calculations.
