Hi teachers,

This fan runs with electricity.
This fan works with electricity. Can I use “power” instead of “electricity”?

I would generally say, “This fan runs on electricity.”

“runs on power” does not really make sense to me unless it is more specific - “This fan runs on water power.” or “This fan is petrol powered.”

Run on and work with, right?

Yes, I guess both are ok, but “runs on electricity” seems more natural - majority rules: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?co … g=3&share=
