A bar magnet is attached solidly to a frictionless surface and its length is aligned with the x axis. To the right of the first magnet a short distance away is a second bar magnet with its center placed on the x axis and its length perpendicular to the x axis. The second magnet is free to move. Once placed in position at rest, which best describes the initial motion of the second magnet?

a. The magnet will move away from the fixed magnet.
b. The magnet will not move.
c. The magnet will move toward the fixed magnet.
d. The magnet will start to rotate.
