F = B I L
if the current is perpendicular to the B-field.
In this case the current is parallel the field, and there is zero force.
It's a trick question
A 2.0 m wire segment carrying a current of 0.60 A oriented parallel to a uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T experiences a force of what magnitude

0.6
It is 0, there is no force when traveling parallel.
