Thank You for your Response,Welcome to EP.
Try this paper: http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resou...df/jcr:content/translations/en.CD00004096.pdf
How are we to know? You'll have tp measure if you really need to know. However, usually one does not have the exact load ratings when designing a dimmer circuit. Therefore typical values are assumed, e.g R=39 Ω, C=0.01 µF as in this example.I would like to know the Coil (Inducatance and resistance value ) for the ceiling fan
It worked. Regulated the speed of fan using 47ohms resistance. But after few hours of operation, the resistance burn out. I used 1/4 watt resistance. Should I change the value to exactly 39ohms? Also, should i take 1/2 watt resistance?How are we to know? You'll have tp measure if you really need to know.

Can you comment on the capacitor value and the type of capacitor to be used? There in the pdf, whole analysis being done to get its value?39 Ω or 47 Ω is not really relevant. YOu'd have to choose a really larger value, e.g. 150 Ω, to get a marked change in power dissipation. Obviously the power rating was insufficient.
Better use a 1 W resistor for some safety margin. Or use 2 or 3 times 47 Ω in series, each 1/2 W rated, toi distribute the power dissipation.
Note that without knowing the load details this can be only a rather general recommendation.
You work at your onw risk. Observe all necessary safety precautions to prevent any injury due to electric shock, fire from overheating etc.
