What is the difference between anode rays and cathode rays?

Open in App

Solution

Cathode Rays Anode rays
They are starting from the cathode and travelling towards the anode They are starting from anode and move towards cathode.
The anode is in the form of a regular electrode The cathode is having a hole in it and anode rays are passing through it. Hence they are called as canal rays
They are negatively charged They are positively charged
The ratio between charge to mass (e/m) is constant in different experiments The ratio of e/m is not constant in different experiments
