When a particle carrying charge <\/span>q<\/mi><\/math> is moving with a velocity <\/span>v<\/mi><\/math> in a magnetic field <\/span>B<\/mi><\/math>, a force <\/span>F <\/mi><\/math>is exerted on it. This force can be calculated by using the equation <\/span>F<\/mi>=<\/mo>q<\/mi>(<\/mo>v<\/mi>\u00d7<\/mo>B<\/mi>)<\/mo><\/math>. Since it is a cross product, <\/span>F<\/mi>=<\/mo>qvBsin\u03b8<\/mi><\/math>, where <\/span>\u03b8<\/mi><\/math> is the angle between <\/span>v<\/mi><\/math> and <\/span>B<\/mi><\/math>. Therefore, the force is minimum when <\/span>\u03b8<\/mi>=<\/mo>0<\/mn><\/math> and maximum when <\/span>\u03b8<\/mi>=<\/mo>9<\/mn>0<\/mn><\/mrow>o<\/mi><\/mrow><\/msup><\/math>. The condition for minimum force is when the particle moves in the direction of the field and that for maximum force is when the particle moves in the direction perpendicular to the field. Since the figure in option 3 clearly shows the particle moving in the direction of the field, the force on the particle there is minimum.<\/span>
