MCQ
Cathode rays and canal rays produced in a certain discharge tube are deflected in the same direction if
  • A magnetic field is applied normally
  • B
    An electric field is applied normally
  • C
    An electric field is applied tangentially
  • D
    A magnetic field is applied tangentially

Answer

Correct option: A.
A magnetic field is applied normally
In discharge tube cathode rays (a beam of negative particles) and canal rays (positive rays)moves opposite to each other.
They will experience a magnetic force in the same direction, if a normal magnetic field is switched on
