Answer:

(e) If a coil is viewed from one end, and the current flows in a clockwise direction, then this end is a south pole.

Explanation:

The clock face rule determines the coil’s polarity. If we face one end of the coil and the current runs clockwise, we get the South Pole and the North Pole.

By looking at one face of the circular wire (or coil), we can deduce the following:

  1. The front face of the circular wire (or coil) is the South pole if the current flows clockwise around it (S-pole).
    The current flow in the circular wire is anticlockwise and works as a North pole.
  2. The front face of the circular wire (or coil) is the North pole if the current travels anticlockwise around it (N-pole).
    The current flow in the circular wire is clockwise and functions as a South pole.
