In mathematics, a field is a set with certain operators (such as addition and multiplication) defined on it and where the members of the set have certain properties.
In a vector field, each member of this set has a value AND a direction associated with it. In a scalar field, there is only vaue but no direction.

Are the magnetic field vector- or scalar fields?
Both, E=Es + Ev = cB therefore, B= Es/c + Ev/c = Bs + Bv. The electric and magnetic fields are quaternion fields consisting of a scalar field and a vector field. Contemporary Physics has not realized this yet. Correct Relativity Theory is a manifestation of quaternion fields, consisting of a scalar field and three vector fields. This shows up in the Energy Momentum four vector, E= Es +cmV. Actually the Lorentz Force is both scalar and vector: F=qvB = - qv.B + qvxB it makes no sense consider only qvxB and to ignore qv.B.

What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
