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

Question

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

Answer 1

Yes, they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction and act on the contrary parts : \(\vec{F}\)_{on 2 by 1} = \(\vec{F}\)_{on 1 by 2}. Thus, they form action-reaction pair.
