A network of capacitors and switches is shown. Opening and closeing the switches changes the proporties of the network. Rank the configurations according to the total capacitance (equivalent capacitance), from largest to smallest, using the symbols ">" and "=". (For example, "D>A=B>C".)

Configuration A
Configuration B
Configuration C
Configuration D
Configuration E

[A=D>C>E>B ]


Will any of the configurations have capacitors that do not become charged?

D
E
B
A & D
None of the configurations
C & E - Correct!
A
C
