A whisk has a larger surface area than a fork. As you stir with a whisk, you create space behind the prongs that fill with air and then mix with your liquid. In a viscous fluid like eggs, air gets stuck really easily, so when your whisk is giving that much more air behind it than a fork, it gets you to your desired state faster
