RC Circuit for LED Control with Simulated Microcontroller

This circuit uses an LED as a load and a capacitor to simulate the behavior of a microcontroller pin. When the button is pressed, the capacitor charges and activates the transistor, allowing the LED to light up. Once the button is released, the capacitor gradually discharges, keeping the LED on for a short time before turning off. The capacitor acts as a temporary power source, mimicking how a microcontroller might hold a pin high to sustain the circuit. This setup is versatile and can be triggered by magnetic switches instead of push buttons.
