    Circles are notorious for giving flipped normals,

    This is because there is no face when you add the circle, only vertices and edges…

    It depends in which direction you extrude on what direction your normals will face.

    If for example you extrude in the positive or negative Z direction

    Positive Z direction…

    And Negative Z direction…
