What does the speed of the fan depend on?

  1. AVoltage
  2. BMetal
  3. CAluminum in the fan
  4. DIron in the fan

BPSC CDPO Prelims 2005

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) Voltage

Explanation

A fan's speed depends on the voltage applied to its motor: a higher voltage gives a faster speed.

The fan regulator controls the speed by changing the voltage that reaches the motor.
