Question

Currents in two infinitely long, parallel wires exert forces on each other. Is this consistent with Newton’s third law?

✓

Answer

Yes, they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction and act on the contrary parts

$: \vec{F}_{\text {on } 2 \text { by } 1}=\vec{F}_{\text {on } 1 \text { by } 2 \text {. Thus, they form action-reaction pair. }}$
