Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition of 'field' (a region of force or influence) and 'intensity' (measurable strength), so its core meaning — how strong a field is at a point — is directly inferable from the constituents. While technical details (direction, units, per-unit-charge qualifiers) are specialist, an average B1 learner who knows both words will understand the general sense.
Etymology
Field intensity comes from imagining an invisible area around a magnet or electric charge that pushes a tiny test particle. In this picture, field is that area and intensity is how hard and which way it pushes, so the phrase means 'the strength and direction of a field at a point'.
