Question

what is the difference between an open and closed circuit? the difference between an open and closed circuit? how does a switch work to affect the circuit? when a circuit is closed, it is a complete electrical circuit and electric energy flows through the circuit. an open circuit is called an open circuit, there is no electric energy flowing through that circuit. a switch works to open and close that circuit.

Explanation:

Answer:

1. An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning there is a break in the path so electric current cannot flow. A closed circuit is a complete path that allows electric current to flow through it.
2. A switch works by opening or closing the circuit; when the switch is "on," it closes the circuit to allow current to flow, and when it is "off," it opens the circuit to stop the flow of current.
