Given:

The force on a wire due to a magnetic field is zero.

To find:

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field

Step-by-step explanation:

For a current-carrying wire of length 'l' and carrying current 'i', the force in the presence of an external magnetic field is,


F=Bilsin\theta

The angle between the current direction and the magnetic field is,


\theta

So, the force is zero when


\begin{gathered} sin\theta=0 \\ \theta=0\degree \end{gathered}

Hence, the angle is zero.
