Can the polarity at the 2 ends of a solenoid be the same in normal conditions?

[MadMax_8228]

Homework Statement

I encountered the following question but by using Clock rule, both the ends are coming out to be South poles. Is this possible? If not, then what will be the polarity at both ends?

Relevant Equations

None

Yes. I don't recall ever hearing of such a Clock rule in physics. I do agree with you that both A and B are South magnetic poles.

Where is the North Pole or Poles? Along the top portion of solenoid's core.
