Answer:

the particle experiences maximum force when it will be moving perpendicular to magnetic field.

it experiences minimum deflecting for when its going parallel to the magnetic field.

Explanation:when a charged particle is moving

magnetic field is B which is a vector

Magnetic force on a charge is F

formula for force F =Q.(VxB)

magnitude of the charge particle is Q

the vector multiplication of (VxB) if most significant when the charge particle is moving parallel.Very minimum when moving

velocity of the charge particle is V
