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

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are separated by a solid dielectric. This capacitor and a resistor are connected in series across the terminals of a battery. Now the plates of the capacitor are pulled slightly farther apart. After some time circuit again attains steady state.
  1. The potential difference across the plates has increased
  2. The energy stored on the capacitor has decreased
  3. The capacitance of the capacitor has increased
  4. The battery would have gained energy
