However, the scientists of Lakeview are concerned that such a big magnetic field will interfere with their detectors and experiments. In particular, there is a small section of wire (~15 cm) that needs to carry a large amount current (10 - 14 A). The scientists are worried about the force that will be exerted on that high current wire. They've provided the picture below of their lab set up and have asked for your help with two things. First, they would like to know what kind of force they should expect on their high current wire. Second, they have asked for your design of how you would make the net force zero on the high current wire. They said they will happily provide wire(s) of any length, they can adjust the current to whatever you need, and they can position any of the wires as needed. You should outline a design (including a figure with labels) and demonstrate how that makes the net force zero on the high current wire.
