NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
According to Thomson's experiments, what does the amount of deviation of particles from their path in the presence of an electric or magnetic field depend upon?
Options
- AThe mass of the particle
- BThe charge on the particle
- CThe temperature of the cathode
- DThe type of gas in the cathode ray tube
Correct answer
B. The charge on the particle
Step-by-step solution
Thomson's experiments indicated that the amount of deviation of particles from their path in the presence of an electric or magnetic field depends on the magnitude of the negative charge on the particle.
