The Central Processing Unit (CPU) creates heat as electricity is used in processing data. The longer the processing takes place, the more heat is created. Heat-sinks and fans are used to cool the CPU and motherboard, so avoiding, as much as possible, overheating and components burning out.

Why does my Furnace run continuously after flame is out?

It should not run continuously. Typically, the fan (sometimes called a blower) will continue to run for a minute or so after the flame is out. This does not consume much energy; it does flush the residual heated air from the ducts. Make sure the fan is set to "AUTO" on the thermostat, to ensure proper cycling.
