Answer
(a) The magnitude of force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is zero, when current in conductor is in the direction of magnetic field.
(b) The magnitude of force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is maximum, when current in conductor is normal to the magnetic field.
