What is the formula for calculating the maximum output voltage on a Full Wave Bridge Rectifier?

In a Full Wave Bridge Rectifier, the maximum output voltage is calculated by subtracting the diode drops from the peak input voltage. The formula applied here accounts for the fact that, during the rectification process, current passes through two diodes in the bridge for half of the cycle. Each diode creates a voltage drop (denoted as DD), which reduces the overall output voltage available to the load.

Therefore, the correct formulation to find the maximum output voltage is the peak input voltage minus the combined voltage drop across the two diodes. This results in the equation:

Output Vmax = Input Vmax - DD.

This understanding emphasizes the role of the diodes in the circuit and their impact on the effective output voltage provided to the load. The other options are based on incorrect relationships or do not consider the effect of the diode drops accurately.
