Force between two superconducting wires

[Danyon]

Consider two parallel superconducting wires. Both the wires carry the same current and the current is going in the same direction. do they experience a magnetic force attracting them together? Or do their magnetic fields behave differently?

I heard that superconductors expel magnetic fields, will the superconductor experience a force anyway?

 

[Dr. Courtney]

There is no escaping Newton's third law.

 

[Danyon]

So does amperes force law apply to superconductors?
