Solution
No force acts on a current-carrying conductor, when it is parallel to the magnetic field.
Explanation:
The force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by:
\[F=BIL\sin\theta\]
When the conductor is parallel to the magnetic field, \(\theta=0^\circ\) and \(\sin 0^\circ=0\). Hence, the force acting on the conductor is zero.
