The dependent variable MAY change, but it need not.

Why is an independent variable important?

it is important because it is the variable that will never change you dependent variable changes due to your independent variables value


What does independent variable mean in electricity?

An independent variable is something that you, as the experementer, change to try and get a set of results. E.g, in an electrical ciurcut you may change the voltage to see how it affects resistance. Voltage is the independent variable as your changing it, resistance is the dependant variable as it changes due to the change in the independent variable.


A dependent variable is _____.?

MathematicsY is often used as the "dependent variable" which changes as the independent variable (X) changes, according to the defined function y = f(x).ExperimentationThe dependent variable is what will change in the experiment, based on changes made to the independentvariable. The constant or controlled variable is maintained so that the outcome is dependent on the changes to the factor being studied.Example : Determining growth of bacteria in various aqueous nutrient solutions.The growth rate (what you measure) is the dependent variable.The amount of a nutrient added is the independent variable.The temperature and humidity are the controlled variables, which are kept the same.Example: Time is an independent variable, no matter how fast you are going, the amount of time does not change over a specific interval. Distance is a dependent variable. The distance travelled is dependent on how fast you are going over that same interval.A dependent variable is a value that receives its magnitude due to the magnitude of the other variables in the "equation" or "test" or "experiment".* * * * *In many situations, though, there is no independent variable but two [inter-]dependent variables. This is particularly true of systems in which there is some sort of feedback. For example, changes in the rate of inflation affects the rate of unemploment and changes in the rate of unemployment affects inflation.A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment.


A variable that does not change as another variable changes-?

The variable that changes due to a change in another variable is known as 'dependant variable".


What is an independent variable in an experiment?

It's what you change to do your experiment. Say your doing an experiment like my friend Kristen Maxine Rogers is doing: Does air temperature affect how long soap bubbles last, her independent variable would be the different temperatures.
