Detailed Solution

An electron moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. The force experienced by the electron will be zero.
Lorentz force on a current-carrying conductor is given by

F = qvBsinθ

Where

q

represents electric charge,

v

represents velocity,

B

is the magnetic field and

θ

is the angle between the motion of conductor and conductor.
When the electron is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field,

θ = 0^{o}

\Rightarrow sinθ = 0

F = qvBsinθ

= > F = qvB \times 0

= > F = 0

The force experienced by the moving charged particle will be maximum if it's moving in the perpendicular direction of the magnetic field. Force will be zero if it's moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field.
