Instance variable
A variable, part of an Object. These might better be called perObject variables since each instantiated object of this class will have its own private copy of this variable. They are allocated when the object is allocated via new. Static methods may not access the instance variables of their class (or any other class for that matter), other that via some object reference, e.g. anObject.someField. Static methods may even access private instance variables in their class via some object reference.
Private variables (and methods) in Java are those members of a class which can only be accessed by that class and other methods of that class.
These are normal variables declared within a class that are attached to an object instance of a class.
In Java, there are three kinds of variables: local variables, instance variables, and class variables. Variables have their scopes. Different kinds of variables have different scopes. A variable is shadowed if there is another variable with the same name that is closer in scope. In other words, referring to the variable by name will use the one closest in scope, the one in the outer scope is shadowed.A Local Variable Shadows An Instance VariableInside a class method, when a local variable have the same name as one of the instance variable, the local variable shadows the instance variable inside the method block.
Java does not have the concept of Reference Variables. We cannot access the memory location where the data is stored in Java.
Usually Private is the preferred access modifier for instance variables. Benefits: 1. No other class can access this variable directly. They can do only through the getter/setter methods 2. Only the methods in that particular class can use this variable
At any given point of time you cann't get the address of a variables of java program. This is meant for security purpose only.

"this" is a Java keyword that references the current object. Any part of the object(instance variables, methods, constructors) can be accessed by calling this.[member].
The Math class has public variables - defined as final, of course - for the mathematical constants PI and E.
In the case of an instance variable, there is one copy for every instance (object). If you create 10 objects based on a class, there will be 10 copies of the variable. A class variable exists only once for the entire class - no matter how many objects you create - or even if you create no objects based on the class. In Java, such variables (class variables) are declared with the statickeyword.

Global variables are globally accessible. Java does not support globally accessible variables due to following reasons:The global variables breaks the referential transparencyGlobal variables creates collisions in namespac
There's no global variables in Java.

Reference variables
No, static variables are not serialized.
