I'm trying to learn how to use a 555 timer using tutorial. I think I know the basics, but I'm not sure, so could someone confirm/deny if I'm doing this correctly?

What I think it does is when the trigger is used, the capacitor is charged through the resistor. When the capacitor is fully charged, electricity can no longer pass that way, so the electricity then goes to the output, at which point the capacitor is discharged. Is this correct?
