Identify the correct statements:
$A$. 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 the insulation property of the dielectric.
$C$. Increasing the area of the capacitor plate or decreasing the thickness of the 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.
