Identify the correct statements:
\(\mathrm{A}.\) Effective capacitance of a series combination of capacitors is always smaller than the smallest capacitance of the capacitor in the combination.
\(\mathrm{B}.\) When a dielectric medium is placed between the charged plates of a capacitor, displacement of charges cannot occur due to insulation property of dielectric.
\(\mathrm{C}.\) Increasing of area of capacitor plate or decreasing of thickness of dielectric is an alternate method to increase the capacitance.
\(\mathrm{D}.\) For a point charge, concentric spherical shells centered at the location of the charge are equipotential surfaces.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
