A control variable is one that is set for the entire duration of the experiment. When measuring the Heat capacity of a gas (for instance) you can have Heat Capacity at constant volume or Heat Capacity at constant pressure Cv and Cp. In these cases the control variable would be Volume in the first case and Pressure in the second.

A controlled variable is one that you can vary in a controlled way. In the measurement of an Ideal gas PV=nRT you have to be able to vary one of the P,V, n, or T to get meaningful readings at all. So, depending on how your experiment is set up, the ones that are the controlled variables are the ones you make measurements of and the other that is not allowed to vary is the control variables.

P=(V/n)(R)T P and T are controlled, V and n are control.

(PV) = nT(R) n and T are controlled, P and V are control

P(V) = n (RT) P and n are controlled, V and T are control

(R is a constant and doesn't vary outside of measuring systems)

there are seven variation of possible experiments with an ideal gas, somebody else can finish this for me if they they think they are as clever as I am.

What is the difference between control and controlled variable?

control is when nothing is done to the experiment and controlled variable is that you have control over the experiment.


What the difference between a variable and control?

The difference between a controlled variable and a variable is in their state. A controlled variable is something which is rigid and constant while a variable is liable to change and inconsistent.


What is the difference between a variable being tested and a variable being controlled?

The difference between these both is that the control is what stays the same in an experiment and the variable is what changes.

What is difference between the control group and the experimental group in a controlled experiment?

The control group does not change, while the experimental group is the variable you are changing.
