No force is exerted by it It is because magnetic force acts on moving charges . Since the charge is stationary , no magnetic force will act on it.
It can be explained by equation
F = q v B ,
Where F is magnetic force on charge q travelling with velocity v in a magnetic field of intensity B.
As ,for stationary particle , v = 0 , thus, F is also 0.
On going deep in physics we could say:
The whole concept of magnetism is arbitrary, as the charge moves with speed relative to the speed of light in vacuum, the separation between the charge particles (more precisely electron in conductor) is reduced, which makes the conductor more charged which consequently attract the other charged particles.
