A student runs an experiment to figure out if the size of a wire changes how well i
the resistance in the wires.
s electricity. She uses 5 different widths of copper wire and attaches each to a multimeter to measure the resistance in the wires. The data collected is shown below:
Wire 1- 12 Ohms
Wire 2- 17 Ohms
Wire 3- 9 Ohms
Wire 4- 14 Ohms
Wire 5- 6 Ohms
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
A The multimetet.
B. The resistance values.
C. The material of the wires, copper.
D. The widths of the wires.
