Here's a site with several simple circuits which employ the full-wave bridge rectifier. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/HBASE/electronic/rectbr.html

The link Peter K gave you didn't work for me. I think because there's a '.' after rectifier. If you haven't found the info you need, in your browser you can either delete the '.' after rectifier in the URL and refresh or put 'rectifier' into wikipedia's search window.
They do have a good discussion of rectification. If you are getting your input AC from a center-tapped transformer, then the 2-diode full-wave bridge will work. Otherwise you need the 4-diode version.

ideally, a nil.5 wave rectifier circuit will furnish a top voltage output equivalent to an entire wave center faucet transformer variety without load on the output. the two varieties will produce the full top output minus the drop around the singal diode it rather is carrying out on the time. even nonetheless, as quickly as you start to load the output of the provision, the 0.5-wave furnish has to attend two times as long for the subsequent charging cycle to return alongside. This alongside with the exponential discharge of the capacitor will effect in a miles better loss of output voltage below loading situations. lots bigger capacitace would be had to compensate, as properly a diode(s) with extra advantageous top present day dealing with. an entire wave bridge variety rectifier could have the shortcoming of two diode junction drops, however the ease won will many times offset this different than in very low voltage supplies.

What your talking about is called a bridge rectifier. Just for fun,I searched it and found the diagram agian and again. use the term bridge rectifier or full wave bridge rectifier. Hope this helps,Mark P.S. you don't need to say P-N, only transistors(or triodes) are reffered to this way (i.e. n-p-n or p-n-p) Diodes only have 2 poles

I drew it on this bit of paper. Come round to my house and you can copy it.
