According to me, a field is a collection of points in space such that at each point in space, the value of the property(variable or constant) is a function of the position of that point with respect to a reference. In case of vector fields, besides the value, an arrow is associated to the point which gives the direction.
For example:
An electric field is a collection of points in space such that the electric field intensity at each point in space, is a function of the position of that point with respect to position of the source charge. In addition to the value, an arrow is associated to the point which indicates the direction in which a test charge would experience a force.
I would like to know if my statement is right.
