A student places two bar magnets end-to-end on a smooth, low-friction surface.

Two bar magnets end-to-end on a flat surface. Magnet A is on the left with its South pole on the left and North pole on the right. Magnet B is on the right with its North pole on the left and South pole on the right, so the two North poles are facing each other with a small gap between them.

State what would happen to Magnet B if the student releases it while holding Magnet A still.
