When is the maximum force exerted on a current carrying conductor while it is kept in a magnetic field ?
 Maximum force acts on the conductor when it is kept perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.
ie ,The force ,F = Ilbsin(?) ; I –current flow , l – length of the conductor , b-magnetic field
When a conductor is kept perpendicular to the magnetic field , ? = 90
ie , sin(90) = 1 and the maximum force will act on the conductor.
