In this paper, we study magnetic biharmonic and biminimal curves on a 3-dimensional normal paracontact metric mani-fold with α, β =constant. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for biharmonicity and biminimality of a non-null magnetic curve, respectively. We give some characterizations for such curves defined in particular cases of a 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold.
