Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum output voltage in a circuit with an ideal diode and assuming it's a rectifier circuit (common context for such questions), is approximately 2Vp(in) because the diode allows for the doubling of the input peak voltage, Vp(in), through the process of rectification and filtering in full-wave rectifier configurations.
