WOW! that was a book, opps
just took a breath and reread some things:
When the appliance or other load is "on", there's just as much electrical current flowing through the neutral as is flowing through the hot. What's different is the "pressure" or voltage behind the current. There's less "push" or voltage on the neutral side of the load because the load has used that energy to do whatever it does.
to summarize:
1. Forget what i said about the wave thing, i misunderstood.
2. The current IS the same on the hot and neutral for the fan.
3. The voltage pressure is less on the neutral side of the fan.
