A current carrying wire kept in a uniform magnetic field will experience a maximum force when it is
A current-carrying wire kept in a uniform magnetic field will experience a maximum force when it is perpendicular to the magnetic field. This is because the magnetic force is given by F = Bill sin θ and sin 90° = 1.

The force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is given by:
F = BILsinθ
The force is maximum when sinθ = 1, i.e., = 90°
. This means the wire must be perpendicular to the magnetic field to experience the maximum force.
Answer: (A) perpendicular to the magnetic field.
