Solution

Difference between open and closed circuits:
Closed Circuit
Open Circuit
1. A circuit is closed when every part of it is made of a conductor and current flows through it when the key is inserted or the circuit is completed. 1. A circuit is said to be open when no current flows through a circuit.
2. Current flows from positive charge particles to negative charge particles in an electric closed circuit. 2. Due to the incomplete path, this circuit does not conduct electricity and there is a zero potential difference between the two terminals of the open switch.
3. This circuit operates in a constant ON state.
3. This circuit operates in the OFF position.
