With a circuit of a charged capacitor, a resistor, and an LED, I can create a lighten up LED that gradually dims until the capacitor run out of charge. With a combination of a battery, capacitors, resistors, and LED, is it possible to create the opposite effect, that is an LED that gradually lighten up?
This is because the capacitor now acts as the (temporary) power source for the circuit, giving power to the LED, so that it stays on for a short while. A capacitor does not act like a battery, because it dumps its charge very quickly, so that the LED only receives power for a few seconds.
First it charges the capacitor. For a large capacitor/resistor combination charging is slow enough to be seen. If you replaced C1 with a 0.1 uF the LED will seem to turn on instantaneously. At the same time, it provides a very small current into the transistor base. The transistor amplifies this current to a level high enough to turn on the LED.
E: Circuits with Two Capacitors and one Bulb. Be sure you have the following components: two capacitors of equal capacitance, two batteries, one light bulb, a switch, several wires, and a stop watch. E1. Connect the two capacitors in parallel as shown in the circuit. (Remember the polarity of the capacitors.)

As one of the passive components of the capacitor, its role is nothing more than the following: 1. When a capacitor is used in power supply circuits, its major function is to carry out the role of bypass, decoupling, filtering and energy storage. Filtering is an important part of the role of capacitors. It is used in almost all power circuits.

Capacitor circuits with light bulb
When one places a capacitor in a circuit containing a light bulb and a battery, the capacitor will initially charge up, and as this charging up is happening, there will be a nonzero current in the circuit, so the light bulb will light up. However, the capacitor will eventually be fully charged at which point the potential between its plates will match the voltage of the battery, and the ...
