Question

The given figure shows an electromagnet. Which end of the magnet is considered as the North Pole and which is the South Pole?

• A. A. South Pole B. North Pole
• B. A. North Pole B. North Pole
• C. A. North Pole B. South Pole
• D. A. South Pole B. South Pole

Answer 1

The correct option is C A. North Pole B. South Pole

The end of this electromagnet at which current is in the clockwise direction behaves as a south pole and the other end of it at which the current is in the anticlockwise direction behaves as a north pole. Thus, A is the North Pole and B is the South Pole.
