AI Thread Summary
In the discussion about the polarity of a solenoid, it is questioned whether both ends can be South poles under normal conditions. The Clock rule mentioned is not recognized in standard physics, leading to confusion. Participants agree that if both ends are identified as South poles, it raises the question of where the North pole is located. It is clarified that the North pole is typically found along the top portion of the solenoid's core. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding magnetic polarity in solenoids.

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?

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.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
