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.
