Identify the parts of the following experiment. An electrician wants to know which wire brand contains the least resistance. She runs 120 volts through 10 meters of 5 different wires and measures their output. They determine that brand C has the lowest resistance because it has the highest average out after 30 trials.

• Wire length

• Dependent Variable

• If a wire has a higher electrical output, then it has a lower resistance

• Independent Variable

• Brand C has the lowest resistance

• Hypothesis

• Type of wire

• Conclusion

• Wire electrical output

• Control

What is the formula for voltage?

• V = (I x R) / 2

• V = I / R

• V = R / I

• V = I x R
