Question

When you turn on a television, the electrical circuit _____. closes opens does not move

Answer 1

Closes. The circuit is therefore complete and current is able to flow through

Answer 2

Answer: Closes.

Explanation: A television needs electricity for power but just  connecting to a power source doesn't make a television work. We need to switch it on as well. When the television is in off mode, the power is being supplied but in an open loop circuit and hence its off or inactive.

When we turn on the television, the circuit gap is closed as a part of our action and thus the current begins to flow thereby switching on the television. Hence, to power on a television, the circuit needs to be closed.
