(N/A) The face of the circular coil in which the current flows in an anticlockwise direction behaves as the north pole,and the face in which the current flows in a clockwise direction behaves as the south pole.
Based on the provided image,the front face has current flowing in an anticlockwise direction,so it acts as the north pole.
The rear face has current flowing in a clockwise direction,so it acts as the south pole.
This is because magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole.
