A magnetic field exerts no force on:
(a) an electrical charge moving perpendicular to its direction(b) an unmagnetised iron bar
(c) a stationary electric charge(d) a magnet


(c) a stationary electric charge

Explanation
Magnetic force is given by Lorentz equation as:
F = q (v × B)
Here, q = amount of electric charge,
           v = velocity of charge and
          B = magnetic flux
So, when velocity of charge​ (v) = 0, then magnetic force (F) = 0.
