Assuming you don't have a device for testing capacitors, a somewhat useful method of testing a capacitor is:
Remove the capacitor from circuit.
Using an analog ohm meter (with a needle rather than a digital readout), connect the two leads of the meter to the two leads of the capacitor.
You MAY see the needle jump, but leave the meter connected for a few seconds and see how far the needle falls.
Quickly reverse the polarity of the meter leads.
The needle of the ohm meter should definitely jump then settle back, approaching open circuit.
If you have consistently high resistance (low ohms) the capacitor is faulty, but if the resistance slowly falls (higher ohms), the capacitor is good.
If the capacitor does nothing, consistently high ohms or consistently low ohms, toss the capacitor and get a new one; they're relatively cheap.
touch it with a finger
Lick it. If you die, it works.

Why use capacitors on fan motors?
capacitor stores charge ,so we use capacitor in fan for continuous voltage supply.
How capacitor is connected in a table fan?
The Capacitor with running winding is connected in parallel with main winding.
Can a larger capacitor be used in an air conditioner?
Function of Capacitor in Air Conditioner:Compressor Motor Capacitor: This air conditioning capacitor usually consists of two capacitors that are combined. This vital capacitor gets the motor running in the air conditioning unit.Start Capacitor: This capacitor provides auxiliary support and that is not a standard on every air conditioning unit. It can give the motor a boost to get it started.Indoor Blower Motor Capacitor: This capacitor is self-explanatory. It is responsible for starting the indoor-blower-motor and keeping it running efficiently.Outdoor Fan Motor Capacitor: The name says it all for this capacitor. It starts the outdoor fan and keeps the air flowing through the coils that run on the outside of an air conditioner.

How do you fix the run capacitor on a ceiling fan?
Be certain to observe the exact same polarity as the old one. A capacitor does have plus and minus leads. Should an old defective ceiling fan transformer be replaced by a capacitor?
What is the function of a ceiling fan capacitor and how does it contribute to the operation of a ceiling fan?
A ceiling fan capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help start and run the fan motor. It contributes to the smooth operation of the fan by providing the necessary power for the motor to start rotating and maintain a consistent speed.
