This is usually determined by examination. Something that should be spring loaded, like the on/off switch, is found to be no longer spring loaded. Furthermore, there will be attachment points in the assembly where the spring can go and where it can push against.

From the shape of the spring it is meant to be folded in half and provide a rotating effect.

My guess is that it pushes on the on/off switch to hold it in the off position.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a lid hinge spring. There can be just one, depending on the kettle.
