Solution

S.No. Cathode Rays Anode Rays
1. Cathode rays originate from cathode. Anode rays originate from anode.
2. These rays are negatively charged. These rays are positively charged.
3. The constituent particles of cathode rays are electrons. The constituent particles of anode rays are protons.
4. These rays get attracted towards the positive terminal of the electric field. These rays get attracted towards the negative terminal of the electric field.
5. These rays get repelled by the negative terminal of the electric field. These rays get repelled by the positive terminal of the electric field.
6. Cathode rays produce a glowing effect on a soda-glass screen. Anode rays produce a glowing effect on a Zinc sulphide screen.
