Description

A RC circuit built in Falstad using a voltage source, resistors, capacitors, LEDs, diodes, and a switch. When the switch is open, the three LEDs fade out at different speeds from right to left using RC timing..

https://is.gd/ERgeHt It didn't let me upload a video here for some reason so I am just going to upload it to the folder.

How it Works

  1. A capacitor charges through a 1kΩ resistor from a 9V source
  2. Closing the switch turns on all three LEDs, charging the capacitors with each LED
  3. Opening the switch cuts power, and each capacitor slowly discharges through its LED, keeping it glowing
  4. Each branch has a different resistor value, so each LED will have a different fade time
