[QUOTE="PeroK, post: 6156647, member: 493650"] Analysing Newton's third law and the electromagnetic force is not so simple. You could look on line for a discussion of this. E.g. [URL unfurl="true"]https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/138095/Newtons-third-law-exceptions[/URL] In summary, in electrostatics and magnetostatics the Third Law holds (although it's not always easy to verify this); but, in electrodynamics the Third Law does not hold. Momentum is conserved in electrodynamics, but only when you consider momentum stored in the EM fields themselves and not only the momentum of the particles. [/QUOTE]
