Can anybody help me with finding th polarity in both of these coils?

That's the grip rule. Position for fingers and thumb so it looks like you're giving someone the thumbs up, and then rotate your hand so your curved fingers are in-line with the curved wire, and the tips are pointing in the direction of the current.

Then your thumb points in the direction of the north (which i find to be right).

Yeah, I knew it was the grip rule. But left was South for both of the coils I have shown, yet the current is in 2 different directions??
