Single LED single transistor circuit not working


I was making a circuit with 1 LED and 1 transistor. pretty primarily i was trying to use the transistor as a normal switch. Here is the diagram below.


enter image description here


So, this is an NPN transistor and i connected the -ve part of the D1 (transistor) with the -ve part of the LED and the other -ve leg of D1 to ground. I connected the +ve part of D1 with the positive end of 9V dc power supply. The LED should light up and if I disconnect the wire connecting the +ve part of D1 , the LED should turn off. But the problem that I am facing is that the LED isn't lighting up when I connect all the points and follow the schematic.



Also another problem that I am facing is that when I connect a wire with the +ve leg of D1 and don't connect the other end of the wire with the battery and just hold the wire by my fingers, the LED turns on but emits very little light. Is there any mistake in my schematic?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
