The cross product
AxB
is perpendicular to both vectors in the cross product (think of Aand
В
as lying on a
sheet of paper; the cross product is perpendicular to the plane of the sheet).
After figuring out the two directions perpendicular to both vectors you use one of the right hand rules given
on Page 338 to choose which of the two direction is correct. All three should give the same result so use
whichever one you are most comfortable with. In class, we will use the middle one in the diagram in the book.
