In a circuit, the dependent variable is the one that is being measured or observed. It is often the electrical quantity or behavior that is affected by changes in other variables or components in the circuit.
For example, in a simple circuit consisting of a battery, a resistor, and a light bulb, the dependent variable could be the current flowing through the circuit. The current would depend on the voltage of the battery, the resistance of the resistor, and the characteristics of the light bulb.
Other examples of dependent variables in circuits could include voltage, power, or the behavior of specific components like transistors or capacitors.
