Everything except what you're measuring.
EXAMPLE: In a biological experiment using specially treated cells the experiment is run with the cells; this is the experiment. Then the experiment is run again with the same cells WITHOUT the special treatment; this is the control.
control setup
control and experimental setup
were you setup your own experiment
Control SetupThe constant control set up is where you have every thing "normal" to use to compare your experimental set up with the variable to. This has no variables and is always constant. For example if you wanted to see if plants would grow faster watered with sugar water or plain tap water, your constant control set up would be the plant watered with plain water. Since this is the "normal" condition with no changes it is the control setup.Additionally there are two kinds of controls, positive and negative. Positive controls will have an indication or contain the specific substance that the test or instrument is used for. On the other hand, negative controls don't contain that specific substance or instrument. For example if you were testing the effects of aspirin on inflammation and you gave a group, 20 mgs of a placebo, that would be a negative control. Opposite to that would be a positive control, if you were testing the same thing and instead gave the group 20 mgs of the aspirin.Experimental SetupIn short the part of the experiment that contains the variable is called the experimental setup. This is identical to the control setup except in one way. One change is made to the set up, this change is called the variable. In the example of the plants watered with tap or sugar water, the experimental set up would be the plant watered in the sugar water. Since this is the setup an which you are testing this, it is called the experimental (think of the experimental setup as a test) setup.Experimental variableThe experimental variable is basically what you are changing between the control and experimental setups.In the example, your experimental variable would be what the plant is watered with. So in this case, it would be the sugar water.
A positive control is used in an experiment to ensure that the experimental conditions are capable of producing a positive result. It helps validate the experimental setup and serves as a reference point for comparison with the test samples.
The control variable is the thing you keep the same and is everything that is not the independent variable. The Control Setup is there for the sake of comparison.
The circuit in an experimental setup is typically referred to as the experimental circuit or test circuit. It is the specific configuration of components and connections used to carry out a scientific investigation or research project.
experimental control
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.
An experimental setup is one that is done as a test or experiment to see if something works. These are done in business all the time.
In the conduct of the experiment, two steps are tested.One setup is called the experimental setup.
