Teaching Approach in Physics

Suresh, V. J.
ABSTRACT
"Semiconductor devices and their applications" is a chapter introduced in the Standard XII Physics portion. This unit starts with the basic information of semiconductors and then advances to the functions of semiconductor devices such as rectifier, amplifier, oscillator, integrated circuits, digital electronics and operational amplifier. Though the students know the importance of this unit, they avoid selecting questions from this unit. Those who select also make many common errors and lose marks. This is mainly due to the lack of previous knowledge, confusion between similar concepts and also misinterpretation of important concepts. Some of the misconceptions are identified and their remedial measures are suggested below.
