List three examples for a vector field and a scalar field re

List three examples for a vector field and a scalar field, respectively.

Solution

scalar quantities are mass, electric charge, distance.

Scalar Field

If at every point in a region, a scalar function has a defined value(magnitude), the region is called a scalar field.

the magnitude has no specific direction.

Vector field

A vector field can be visualised as a collection of arrows with a given magnitude and direction, each attached to a point in the plane.

Examples are velocity ,displacement and magnetic field

Scalar Field If at every point in a region, a scalar function has a defined value(magnitude), the region is called a scalar field.
