Jan 23, 2018 in this video, i define the product topology, and introduce the general cartesian product. Indeed, a finer topology has more closed sets, so the intersection of all closed sets containing a given subset is, in general, smaller in a finer topology than in a coarser topology. Moving from a particular topology on a set to a finer topology might have various kinds of effect on topological space properties.
