Question

Anode rays are deflected towards the negative plate in the presence of an electric field because they consist of _____ particles.

Answer 1

1. The rays that travel in a direction opposite to that of the cathode rays are called anode rays.
2. The anode rays are also called canal rays or positive rays.
3. The existence of this positively charged particle in an atom is shown by Goldstein.

Therefore, anode rays are deflected towards the negative plate in the presence of an electric field because they consist of positively charged particles.
