The term 'independent variable' is normally used to refer to the variable that you are investigating in an experiment. A common colloquial definition is 'The variable you change' which is helpful, but not always clear. AQA (A UK examination board) defines it in the following way 'The independent variable is the variable for which the values are changed or selected by the investigator'
Aims of experiments are often written in the form 'How does X affect Y?' X would be the independent variable and Y the dependent variable.
There is no specific name since a variable which is an independent variable in one study can be the dependent variable in another.
The independent variable.
No, as the name Variable implies, it can and does change. Since it is 'Independent' its change is not a direct effect of the change of any other Variable. Additionally, the independent variable depends on the dependent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
independent variable
All factors in an expermient are called variables. The variable you can change yourself is called the independent variable; the one you expect to change and monitor accordingly (and where you get your results from) is called the dependent variable.
Independent, it is in the name, more variables are: dependant variable- the one you keep the same control variable- mearsuring variable

The dependent variable changes as a result of a change in the independent variable. (Hence the name "dependent")

Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
