A voltage signal 10 sin t is applied to the circuit with ideal diodes, as shown in figure. The maximum and minimum values of the output waveform V_out of the circuit are respectively—

1. + 10 V and – 10 V
2. + 4 V and – 4 V
3. + 7 V and – 4 V
4. + 4 V and – 7 V

Correct Option: D

The given circuit (i.e., fig-1)
For first half cycle the diode D₂ will conduct while diode D₁ will not conduct. Equivalent circuit for this case is shown below: (i.e., fig-2)
For the second half cycle diode D₁ will conduct while diode D₁ will not conduct. Equivalent circuit for this case is shown below: (i.e., fig-3)
From above figure
– 10 KI – 4 – 10 KI + 10 = 0

or I =	6	mA
	20

V₀ = – 4 – 10 ×	6	= – 4 – 3
	20

= – 7V = V₀ (min)
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
