Will LEDs in opposing directions be damaged?
I was trying to build a simple RC circuit that causes an LED to fade in and out. However, I have electrolytic capacitors, which means that they have polarity.
If I connect a circuit as follows , is the circuit capable of damaging an LED due to back voltage? (The capacitor is supposed to have polarity, but I didn't know how to put the symbol in CircuitLab.)
I think not, because the other LED has very little resistance when the voltage is at any substantial level.

When making the circuit in CircuitLab, I left the component values (e.g. 100 ohms or 1V) as default, as I'm mainly interested in the generic circuit, not a specific one.
