Consider a situation where an electron traveling at a very high velocity enters in a magnetic region created by a current carrying wire. This means a force will act on the electron and it will deflect from its path. So my question is will there be an opposite force on current carrying wire?

    $\begingroup$ Interestingly, Newton's third.law does not apply. See Feynman's Lectures II, 26,27. $\endgroup$
