Question 12
Easy

A physics laboratory apparatus is set up with two bar magnets mounted on a vertical guide track as shown below. Magnet Q is fixed firmly in place at the base, while Magnet P is free to slide vertically up and down with negligible friction.

A vertical guide rail holding two vertical bar magnets. Magnet P is above, free to slide, with its South pole pointing downwards. Magnet Q is fixed at the base, with its South pole pointing upwards.

State what would happen to Magnet P if it is released from rest from the position shown.
