The situation described involves the interaction between a magnetic field and a current-carrying conductor. The force on the conductor due to the magnetic field is determined by the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the current. The magnetic force can be calculated using the equation ( F = I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) ), where ( F ) is the magnetic force, ( I ) is the current, ( L ) is the length of the conductor, ( B ) is the magnetic field strength, and ( \theta ) is the angle between the current direction and the magnetic field.

When the angle is 180 degrees, the sine of the angle (( \sin(180^\circ) )) equals zero. This results in no magnetic force acting on the conductor because the current and magnetic field are perfectly aligned in opposite directions. Thus, the correct response to the question about the angle at which no magnetic force reaches the conductor is indeed 180 degrees.

In contrast, at angles such as 0 degrees (where the conductor is aligned with the field) or 90 degrees (where the conductor is perpendicular to the field), different magnitudes of force
