Consider the following statements about electric field intensity and electric potential.
$A$. The electric field intensity due to a charged spherical shell is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the center for points outside the shell.
$B$. The electric potential due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the distance between the charge and the point.

Explain the concept of an electric field and derive the expression for the electric field due to a point charge.
