TESS - Training and Experiment System
Electrostatics sets with 16 experiments in physics
Phywe provides the following set of apparatus for the topic of electrostatics: TESS Electrostatics EST, allowing as many as 16 experiments to be performed. The experiment literature guides students through the experiments themselves in a series of easily understood exercises.
