"So when the pushbutton switch is pressed the capacitor will charge up"
I thought that a capacitor across an AC source would just act as a load with current leading the voltage by 90 degrees and no power dissipated. Did not know that it would charge up and hold that charge until discharged into a parallel load. Learn something new every day!
