Question

By charging the metal electrodes and gas inside the cathode ray tube :

• A. the electron particle were produced
• B. the proton particle were produced
• C. the neutron particle were produced
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A the electron particle were produced

By charging the metal electrodes and gas inside the cathode ray tube the electron particles were produced. Cathode rays are obtained due to electrical discharge between two electrodes and on applying high vacuum. These cathode rays start from the cathode and go away from it at right angles in straight lines. Cathode rays consist of electrons.
