Identify the correct statements:
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
| A. | Effective capacitance of a series combination of capacitors is always smaller than the smallest capacitance of the capacitor in the combination. |
| 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. |
| C. | Increasing of area of capacitor plate or decreasing of thickness of dielectric is an alternate method to increase the capacitance. |
| D. | For a point charge, concentric spherical shells centered at the location of the charge are equipotential surfaces. |
