Answer:please mark me as brainliest
Explanation:
The magnetic field in a current carrying conductor is always perpendicular to the direction of flow of current and forme\s a closed lop i.e in this case forms a circle around it.
Thats why is a needle of compass is placed perpendicular to the current carrying conductor the magnetic field is either in the direction of needle or antiparallel to it.
hence in both cases it does not show any deflection.
