SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that under normal conditions, both ends of a solenoid can exhibit the same polarity, specifically both being South poles. The Clock rule, referenced by the user, is not recognized in standard physics terminology. The North pole is located along the top portion of the solenoid's core, indicating a clear distinction in magnetic orientation within the solenoid structure.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solenoid structure and function
  • Familiarity with magnetic polarity concepts
  • Knowledge of basic electromagnetism principles
  • Ability to interpret magnetic field diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electromagnetism in solenoids
  • Study the behavior of magnetic fields in different configurations
  • Explore the concept of magnetic poles and their identification
  • Learn about the applications of solenoids in electrical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, electrical engineers, and anyone interested in the principles of electromagnetism and magnetic fields.

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.
