The discussion confirms that the poles of an electromagnetic solenoid are positioned with the south pole on the left and the north pole on the right when viewed from one end. This conclusion is derived from the Right-Hand Rule (RHR), which is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism used to determine the direction of magnetic fields. Participants in the discussion sought clarification on this topic, and the consensus validates the initial assertion regarding pole placement.

RHR
The Attempt at a Solution
Is this correct?or are the poles opposite of what they are meant to be.
I believe it is south on the left a confirmation would be great thank you :)
