Basic Electricity & Electronics 12-200

Two pre-constructed work-boards provide 39 assignments. The first board covers basic principles of passive circuit theory, while the second focusses on semiconductorrelatedassignments. On the two boards, 19 different circuit areas are provided. Each board has 2mm patching sockets to allow different value components to be connected as well as 4mm diameter sockets for external power and test equipment.
