The right hand rule in a magnetic field

[many questions]

Homework Statement

An electron moving in the -z direction enters a region that has a uniform magnetic field in the +y direction. When the electron enters this region, what direction will it be deflected in?

Homework Equations

F=qv X B

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried answering this question using the right hand rule but got
confused. I use the right hand rule by directing my fingers towards the direction of the magnetic field, my thumb in the B direction and I let my palm represent the direction of the force. [/B]

directing my fingers towards the direction of the magnetic field, my thumb in the B direction

Is B different from the magnetic field?
