Cathode-ray tube: Error in a book?

belyi00 · Feb 7, 2018

Hello. I was studying magnetism with the 9th edition of the Serway book and I think that I've found a mistake. In the cathode ray tube example (one of the uploaded pictures) it is said that the force acting on a electron goes downward, but using both right hand rules that they provide in the book - all I understand is that it goes upward. The right hand rules are in the uploaded pictures too. Can anyone help me with this?
