Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. The force experienced by a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is given by

F=ILBsinθ Where I= current, L= length of the conductor, B=magnetic field, and θ=angle between Land B.

2. When θ=0°, F=ILBsin0=0(sin0=0)

3. Hence when the current-carrying conductor is placed parallel to the magnetic field it does not experience any force.

Thus the given statement is false.
