Zero.
Explanation:
The force acting on a charge in a magnetic field is given by:
#F=abs(q_o)Bv(sinphi)# where
#abs(q_o)# is the magnitude of the charge,#B# is the strength of the magnetic field,#v# is the velocity of the charge, and#phi# is the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity.
For a stationary charge
