 Scalar and Vector Fields
A scalar field is a function that gives us
a single value of some variable for
every point in space.
Examples: voltage, current, energy,
temperature
A vector is a quantity which has both a
magnitude and a direction in space.
Examples: velocity, momentum, acceleration
and force
Example of a Scalar Field
 Scalar Fields

e.g. Temperature: Every location has

associated value (number with units)
22
 Scalar Fields - Contours

Colors represent surface temperature

Contour lines show constant temperatures
23
Fields are 3D

T = T(x,y,z)
Hard to visualize
Work in 2D

24
 Vector Fields
Vector (magnitude, direction) at every point
in space

Example: Velocity vector field - jet stream
