Three identical bar magnets, each 2 cm long, are placed in a straight line on a frictionless surface with their ends equally spaced with 2 cm between ends.

Once they are in place and released from rest, which of the following best describes the motion of the magnets?
 a. The end magnets will move away from the center magnet.
