Question
Under what condition an electron moving through a magnetic field experiences the maximum force?

Answer

$\text{F}_\text{m}=\text{qvB} \ \sin\theta$
Force is maximum when $\sin\theta=1\ \text{or}\ \theta=90^\circ$,that is, when electron is moving perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.
