He devised a crook's tube with a near perfect vaccum with two aluminum plates in the center of the tube. One plate served as the anode to a circuit while the other served as a cathode, effectively creating a magnetic field between then with a negative field on one side and a positve field on the other. electrons (cathode rays) were then passed through, Because electrons are negatively charged, the negatively charged anode will repel them and force them to strike the florescent screen at a lower spot than if allowed to pass through freely. When the current it reversed the electrons strike the screen at a higher point than would normally occur
After years of experiments he had found out it was negative.
Cathode rays were deflected towards a positively charged plate.
By observing deflections in electric and magnetic fields.
The electron beam can be deflected by an electrical field.

Thomson believed about atoms, that : An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it. Positive and negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, thus an atom is electrically neutral and it has no overall + or - charge.
The deflection of cathodic rays was the source of inspiration for Thomson.
Just as seeds in a watermelon electrons are embedded in a positive ball
Since electrons are negative, they get a negative charge.
A charge which is not a positive charge is a negative charge.
J. J. Thomson discovered the electron (particle carrying negative charge) in 1897.
The plums represent the electrons, which has a negative charge.
Cathode rays were discovered by JJ Thomson and carry a negative charge Anode rays were discovered by Goldstein and carry a positive charge.

Electrons charge is a negative
Thomson discovered electrons studying cathode rays and estimating the mass and electrical charge of the component particles.
The deflection of cathodic rays was the source of inspiration for Thomson.
according to jj thomsons model of an atom,an atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons in it.however,it was later found that positively charged particles reside at the center of the atom called nucleus,and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.
They do have a charge, it's negative
After the discovery of the nucleus positive charge (nucleus) is completely separated from the negative charges (electrons).
After the discovery of the nucleus positive charge (nucleus) is completely separated from the negative charges (electrons).
