hey mate I hope it helps you
A scalar fieldassociates a scalar value to every point in a space – possibly physical space. The scalar field may be real or complex valued. Complex scalar fields represent charged particles.
In scalar theories of gravitation scalar fields are used to describe the gravitational field
A vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a subset of space.
A vector field for the movement of air on Earth will associate for every point on the surface of the Earth a vector with the wind speed and direction for that point.
