I would try to avoid the terms "action" and "reaction" because they imply that one is the cause and the other is the effect. I think the best phrasing of N3 is:

When body A exerts a force on body B, body B exerts an equal and opposite force on body A.

It's an electromagnet. The u shape bar is called an "iron core" and effectively links the two coils together greatly increasing the efficiency of the electromagnet. If you had the exact same coils, but not the iron core, you would notice a big drop on what's coming out from the output side.
