As we have learned

Capacitance -

It is ability of conductor to hold the charge.

-

 

 

          Initially when key is closed, the capacitor acts as short-circuit, so bulb will light up. But finally the capacitor becomes fully charged, so it will act as open circuit, so bulb will not glow.

 


Option 1)

The bulb will light up for an instant when the capacitor starts charging

Option 2)

The bulb will light up when the capacitor is fully charged

Option 3)

The bulb will not light up at all
