- circuit is open.
- no current flows through it.
- current flows after some time.

उत्तर
(ii) and (iii) are correct
Explanation:
-
When a switch is in the OFF position:
-
The circuit is open (meaning there is a break in the circuit).
-
No current flows through it because an open circuit prevents the flow of electricity.
-
The other options are not correct because:
-
Option (i) (“circuit starting from the positive terminal of the cell stops at the switch”) is not a complete statement. It doesn’t fully explain the condition of the circuit when the switch is OFF.
-
Option (iv) (“current flows after some time”) is incorrect because no current flows when the switch is OFF.
So, the correct combination is (ii) and (iii).
