Perpendicular. If a current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the wire it experiences a maximum force

Answer: The force will be maximum when the current is moving at an angle of 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the force on a current carrying wire and magnetic field is given by the formula:

$\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{I}L* \overrightarrow{B}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=ILB\sin \theta$

where,

I = current flowing through wire

B = magnetic field

L = length of the wire

F = force on a current-carrying wire

The value of
$\sin \theta$ is maximum for 90°, which is 1.

Hence, the force will be maximum when the current is moving at an angle of 90°
