Answer #1

Capacitor will start to discharge, and inductor will start to charge, and hence in this process a current will start to flow from zero to a maximum value and hence bulb will glow slowly and will become brigher to a time and then this brightness will start to decrease.

This cycle will repeat but with decreased maximum brightness as maximum current will decrease as there will be energy loss in every cycle due to bulb.

This is analogous to a damped simple harmonic motion
