Polarity of magnetic filed of a solenoid carrying current

Open in App

Solution

If the current in the coil facing you is flowing in clockwise direction then its the south pole. If the current is flowing in anti-clockwise direction, then its the north pole.This can be figured out using Right hand thumb rule.
