the motor will not start
the motor will run
the motor will run in reverse direction
the motor will run in the same direction at reduced r.p.m.
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. the motor will not start.
A single-phase motor uses a capacitor to create a rotating magnetic field. When the capacitor is short-circuited, the magnetic field is not created and the motor will not start.
Option B is incorrect because the motor will not start if the capacitor is short-circuited.
Option C is incorrect because the motor will not run in reverse direction if the capacitor is short-circuited.
Option D is incorrect because the motor will not run in the same direction at reduced r.p.m. if the capacitor is short-circuited.
