Question

In an electric field the anode rays are deflected towards ___________ charged particle and this indicates that the anode rays are ________________charged.

• A. negatively
• B. positively

Answer 1

• The anode rays are deflected by electric and magnetic fields in a direction opposite to that of cathode rays.
• These rays are attracted towards the negatively charged plate showing thereby that these rays carry a positive charge.

Hence, in an electric field, the anode rays are deflected towards negatively charged particles and this indicates that the anode rays are positively charged.
