Cathode Rays
Scientists William Crookes 1879, Julius Pleuckar 1889 studied the electrical conduction through
gases at low pressures. Sir William Crookes designed discharge Tube.
(a) The electron was discovered at extremely low pressure and high voltage of the order of 10,000 volts.
J. J. Thomson’s Experiment and The Discovery of Electron
Properties of the cathode rays shows that these consist of streams of negatively charged particles having
very small mass. Sir J. J. Thomson called these particles corpuscles of negative electricity. Later,
G. J. Stoney called these particles electrons.
In 1897, an English physcist, J. J. Thomson studied the effect of electric field on cathode rays.
The discharge tube used by Sir J. J. Thomson consisted of the following parts:
a cathode (C),
a cylindrical metal disc having a fine hole at its centre, acts as anode (A) – this accelerates the
particles of the cathode rays,
another metal disc (D) having a fine hole at its centre in line with the hole in the anode.
the cathode rays (consisting of electrons) pass through these holes and strike the fluoresecnt screen
at the point E.
Two flatplates P1 and P2, which can be connected to a source of high voltage.
an electromagnet, generating field opposite to the field generated by the plates P1 and P2.
In the absence of any electrical or magnetic field, the cathode rays strike the fluorescent screen at point
E, and can be seen as a bright spot there.
When a high electric field is applied across the plates P1 and P2, the spot on the screen moves towards the
positively charged plate. Here, in figure the plate P2 is positively charged.
The bending of cathode rays towards the positive plate showed that the cathode rays consist of negatively
charged particles. The deflection suffered by the beam of cathode rays (or beam of electrons) in Thomson’s
experiment depends upon the strength of the electric field applied across the electrodes.
Cathode ray have the following properties
(i) Travel in straight line
(ii) Rays are deflected by electric and magnetic field
(iii) Produce X-rays
(iv) Produce heating effect
(v) Produce green glow

used in the tube.
