TESS - Training and Experiment System
Electricity/ Electronics sets with 74 experiments in physics
Phywe provides the following sets of apparatus for its modular electrical and electronic component system: TESS Student Component Set for Electricity and Electronics SB 1 and TESS Student Component Set for Electricity and Electronics SB 2, allowing as many as 74 experiments to be performed. The experiment literature guides students through the experiments themselves in a series of easily understood exercises.
