Get minimum value among the columns and apply function on the result dynamically

Question

I have a data frame df_temp:

index       timestamp             Output_Energy         Elevation       one     two  three

Firstly, I want to get the min value among the columns one, two, three. To do this I am using simple if-else conditions like this:

for i in range(0, len(df_temp)-1):
  if (df_temp.one[i]<df_temp.two[i] and df_temp.one[i]<df_temp.three[i]):
    do something
  elif (df_temp.two[i]<df_temp.one[i] and df_temp.two[i]<df_temp.three[i]):
    do something
  elif (df_temp.three[i]<df_temp.one[i] and df_temp.three[i]<df_temp.two[i]):
    do something

I would like to know a better way to do it as I want to make the code flexible for any number of columns.

Secondly, based on the result (i.e., column one has min value) I get, I want to perform an operation and another operation on the left-out columns (i.e., two and three) using following pre-defined function:

def charge_1(i):
  bat_state1=Battery1.charge(df_temp.timestamp[i],df_temp)
  bat_state2=Battery2.discharge(df_temp.timestamp[i])
  bat_state3=Battery3.discharge(df_temp.timestamp[i])
  df_temp.at[i+1,'one']=bat_state1
  df_temp.at[i+1,'two']=bat_state2
  df_temp.at[i+1,'three']=bat_state3
  return bat_state1, bat_state2, bat_state3

NOTE: This function is calling class methods charge and discharge.

Therefore, I would like to have suggestions on how I can make this function dynamic which perform operation based on result from previous task of finding min value. For instance, if column two has min value charge method is called on Battery2 and discharge on others.

Open for clarifications, if needed
