Answer: 
The switch within the closed circuit is opened and it stops the flow of current in a circuit.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Current is defined as a flow of electrons in a system or a circuit.
 - There are two basic things needed for current to flow in a system
 - One is the electro-motive force and the other is the complete path for current to flow.
 - If a switch in a closed circuit gets opened, it restricts the path of current flow.
 - Thus it stops the current to be flowed through the circuit.
