Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
In the given figure, B represents the South Pole and A represents the North Pole is a false statement.
Here from the given figure, we can say that the current is entering from A and emerging out from B. So, by using the Right-Hand Thumb Rule, the direction of the magnetic field lines is from B to A. Also, in a magnet, we know that magnetic field lines move from the South to the North direction. So, in this case, B signifies the South pole (magnetic field lines entering) and A signifies the North Pole (magnetic field lines emerging out).
The correct statement would be, in the given figure, B represents the North Pole and A represents the South Pole.
