Fans need at least one blade. More than one is better if they are going to be rotating so that they can balance correctly. Sometimes 2 is good because each blade costs something to make so fewer may be better. sometimes three is good because it gives more airflow, some fans have 4 or 5 or 6 blades. Some have seven. Some have eight. Some have nine. Some have ten. Some have twenty or forty or more.

Where would you find the inclind plane on a fan?

The inclined plane on a fan is typically found on the blades. The angled shape of the blades creates an inclined plane that helps to move air more efficiently as the fan rotates.


What force is applied in working of a fan?

In a fan, the force that is applied is typically generated by an electric motor that drives the rotation of the fan blades. This motor creates a torque that spins the blades and moves air through the fan. The movement of air is then produced by the fan blades as they push or pull the air in the desired direction.


Plug in a fan to a source of electrical energy. the electrical energy is transformed into this form to move the fan blades?

The electrical energy is transformed into kinetic energy to move the fan blades. The motor inside the fan converts the electrical energy into rotational energy, which spins the blades and creates air movement.


The blades of a fan keep on moving for sometime even after the fan is switched off?

This phenomenon is due to inertia, where the blades of the fan will continue to spin briefly after the fan is turned off until the force causing them to move is dissipated. The air resistance and momentum of the spinning blades contribute to this delayed stopping effect.


What is the function of front grille on the electric fan?

The front grille on an electric fan functions to protect the fan blades from damage and prevent accidents by keeping foreign objects out of the fan. It also helps to guide and direct airflow from the fan.

Why three winged ceiling fan is faster than a four winged ceiling fan?

Surface area of the fan blades determine the work involved. A fan with a 36 inch diameter having four blades has more surface area so must work harder than a fan of the same diameter having only three blades. More work on the same amount of energy supplied will be slower. If the surface of the additional blade adds 25 percent more drag then the speed of the motor will reflect it.

Why fan rotates anticlockwise?

A fan motor has two parts namely rotor and stator. In a table fan blades are attached to rotor and its movement appears to be clockwise. In a ceiling fan, blades are attached to stator so blades appears to be moving anti clockwise.
