Answer 1

I don’t see the diagram you mention — could you upload the image or describe it (field‑line arrows or small compass needles shown)?

Meanwhile, quick rules you can use to decide which letter is the north pole:
- Magnetic field lines outside a bar magnet run from the magnet’s north pole to its south pole. So the end from which the field lines emerge (arrows pointing away from the magnet) is the north pole.
- A compass needle’s north‑seeking end (the “N” end) points toward the magnet’s south pole. So if compass needles point toward a labeled end, that end is south; if they point away from it, that end is north.

If you upload the figure I’ll mark whether A or B is the north pole.
