: A current carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet and the
polarities of its ends depends upon the direction of current.
To determine the polarities of its ends, place it in a brass hook
and suspend it with a long thread so that it moves freely.
Bring north pole of a bar magnet near one of its ends. If the
solenoid moves towards the bar magnet, then that end is south pole
and in case, if it moves away from the magnet, it is the north pole.
The other end of the solenoid can similarly be determined
solenoid behaves like a bar magnet when a current is passed through it. one end behaves as magnetic North Pole other end as magnetic south Pole
if magnet is repelled end is North end of solenoid
if magnet is attracted the end is South of sol
