The main component of an electric fan is the AC motor. Its working principle is based on the fact that a current-carrying coil experiences a force in a magnetic field, causing it to rotate. In this process, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy; however, due to the resistance of the coil, an unavoidable portion of the electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy.

In this process, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy. However, due to the resistance of the coil, some of the electrical energy is inevitably transformed into heat energy.
When an electric fan is running (assuming no heat exchange between the room and the outside environment), the indoor temperature doesn’t drop—it actually rises. Let’s analyze why the temperature increases: As the fan operates, electric current flows through its coils. Since the wires have electrical resistance, they inevitably generate heat, which dissipates into the surrounding air, causing the temperature to rise naturally. But why do people still feel cool? That’s because our skin is covered with abundant sweat. When the fan starts spinning, it sets the indoor air in motion, accelerating the evaporation of sweat. And since "evaporation absorbs a significant amount of heat," this process makes us perceive a cooling effect, even though the air temperature itself is rising.

There are ceiling fans, table fans, floor-standing fans, wall-mounted fans, top-mounted fans, exhaust fans, oscillating blade fans, and air-conditioning fans (commonly known as "cooling fans"). Among table fans, some models feature oscillation while others do not—and there are also oscillating blade fans. Floor-standing fans come in both oscillating and non-oscillating varieties. Additionally, there’s a special mini electric fan designed specifically for hanging inside mosquito nets. On summer evenings, simply turning it on creates a gentle, refreshing breeze, allowing you to sleep soundly without worrying about catching a cold or any other illness.
