Final answer:

The dependent variable in this investigation is the magnetic field strength at a point.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this investigation, the dependent variable is the magnetic field strength at a point. The other variables mentioned (size of the battery, number of loops of copper wire, and the speed at which the copper loop spins) are independent variables. The dependent variable is the one that is being measured or observed and is affected by changes in the independent variables.
