Cathode rays are attracted to the positive charge on the anode! They are repelled by the negative charge on the cathode.
Cathode rays were discovered by JJ Thomson and carry a negative charge Anode rays were discovered by Goldstein and carry a positive charge.
Cathode rays are high speed electrons. So they are negatively charged.
J.J Thompson in 1897 demonstrated that cathode rays are composed of tiny, negatively charged subatomic particles called electrons.
Because an electron carries a negative charge and in electricity, opposites attract. Particles with a negative charge will be drawn to the positive charge in the cathode tube.
from his cathode ray tube experiment
Cathode rays are negatively-charged particles.
Alpha Rays are attracted to a negatively charged plate because they consist of positively charged particles.
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick.
because Thomson saw the ray move from the cathode to the anode so the particles have negatively charge
Off course. He discovered the proton with the help of discharge tube with a perforated Cathode. Some positively charge particles were detected behind perforated cathode. these particles were of different mass and charge for different gases used in the tube (i.e. had different m/e). the lightest particles were formed when hydrogen gas was used. So the word proton was give so, because these particles for hydrogen were the lightest and came on first in order of mass. (Greek 'Protos'= First)
it was deflected by a magnet
