The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the angle between the current and the magnetic field at which a current-carrying conductor experiences maximum force, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Force on a Conductor**: The force \( F \) experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ F = I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] where: - \( F \) = force on the conductor - \( I \) = current flowing through the conductor - \( L \) = length of the conductor in the magnetic field - \( B \) = magnetic field strength - \( \theta \) = angle between the direction of current and the magnetic field 2. **Identifying Maximum Force Condition**: To find the angle at which the force is maximum, we need to maximize the sine function, \( \sin(\theta) \). The sine function reaches its maximum value of 1 when: \[ \sin(\theta) = 1 \] 3. **Finding the Angle**: The sine function equals 1 at: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the angle between the current and the magnetic field at which the current-carrying conductor experiences maximum force is: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \] 5. **Checking Options**: If provided with options, we can check which option corresponds to \( 90^\circ \) or \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians. ### Final Answer: The angle between the current and the magnetic field at which the current-carrying conductor experiences maximum force is \( 90^\circ \) or \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians. ---
