D1 and D2 are ideal, and the two capacitors are identical. RC is much greater than the ac period and the diodes do not break down in reverse bias. The steady-state output $V_O$ in volts is ________.
Both diodes point from the source's common terminal toward the upper and lower output nodes. On the relevant charging half-cycle, each identical capacitor is charged to the same voltage relative to the source's other terminal.
The upper and lower output nodes therefore attain equal potentials. Their difference across R is zero. This is not the opposite-diode orientation of a voltage doubler. Thus **$V_O=0$ V**.
