(N/A) In Figure $(1)$,the magnetic field lines emerge from the left side and enter the right side. By convention,magnetic field lines emerge from the North pole $(N)$ and enter the South pole $(S)$. Therefore,the left side is the North pole and the right side is the South pole.
In Figure $(2)$,the magnetic field lines are directed from the left magnet to the right magnet. Thus,the left magnet's pole facing the right is the North pole $(N)$,and the right magnet's pole facing the left is the South pole $(S)$.
