Scientists are studying the effect of different temperatures on the processing speed of a computer chip.

What is the independent variable be in this experiment?

A. the type of computer
B. the size of the computer
C. the temperature inside the computer
D. how long it takes the computer to perform a complex calculation

C, the temperature inside the computer

Explanation:

"An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable" (ThoughtCo).

So the answer would be C, the temp. inside the computer because you are changing it.

C the temperate in side the computer

Explanation: Think about it ok! when a computer is overworking or multitasking while using its computer chip it heats up> while the computer is either at one simple task or is being unused. Using the correct amount of speed can affect the computers climate and help the computer chip last longer!

the real answer is b. scintillation counter

the scientific method.
