why Orested experienced the deflection in needle when he placed it parallel to the current carrying conductor and why it is said that current carrying conductor when placed parallel in magnetic field does not experience any force???

Answer:
The current had produced a magnetic field strong enough to cause the compass needle to turn.
They saw no effect because, as Oersted was to show, the magnetic field produced is at right angles to the wire. So preconceptions prevented earlier experimenters from seeing the effect. (Note that the available equipment –voltaic piles, typically – would only produce a small current, so the effect would in any case have been very weak.)
