Abstract
The paper shows that the Darwin-Breit form of electromagnetic interaction disproves the Aharonov-Bohm assertion about the fundamental meaning of the electromagnetic potentials in quantum theory. A specific analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm electric and magnetic effects substantiates this result.
