The force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is greatest when the?

A. conductor makes an angle of 60° with the field
B. force is independent of the angles between the fields and the conductor
C. conductor is parallel with the field
D. conductor is at a right angle with the field

Correct Answer:

Option D = conductor is at a right angle with the field

Explanation

The force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is greatest when the conductor lies perpendicular in the magnetic field
