Description : Why does the electric fan always turn to the left ?

Last Answer : If desired, the fan can be rotated to the right by reversing the connection to the capacitor , this way the wind will flow backwards or upwards instead of downwards or forwards (the fans are placed in such a curved manner). So the fan always turns to the left as the wind blows in the user's head.
