1. Temperature in a volume of material is a temperature field since there is a temperature value at each point of the volume.

2. Water Velocity in a tube forms a velocity field because there is a velocity at each point of water in the tube.

3. Gravity around the earth forms a field of gravity

4. There is a magnetic field around the earth because there is a vector of magnetism at each point inside and outside the earth.


Example of fields Example of fields

A real function of vector r in a domain is called a scalar field.

Pressure function p(r) and the temperature function T(r) in a domain D are examples of scalar fields.
