The simple answer is that when a circuit is "closed" electrons from the power source are able to flow from one pole to another. The devise being powered is "on" or functioning. When a circuit is open there is a break in the path, normally created by a switch being in the off position, but also possibly caused by a broken wire, something not making proper contact, damage, etc.

Why is it necessary to have a closed circut to have a complete transfer of energy?
A closed circuit ensures that there is a continuous path for the flow of electrons, allowing a complete transfer of energy. When the circuit is open, there is no complete path for the energy to flow, resulting in a disruption of the transfer process.
