(N/A) The face of the circular coil where the current flows in an anti-clockwise direction behaves as the North Pole,as the magnetic field lines emerge from it.
Conversely,the face where the current flows in a clockwise direction behaves as the South Pole,as the magnetic field lines enter into it.
Based on the provided image,the front face shows current flow such that it acts as the North Pole (field lines emerging),and the rear face acts as the South Pole (field lines entering).
