Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end
Why do electrons move from the negatively end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.
Why do electron move from the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.
Why do cathode rays move from the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
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.
Why electrons move from negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.
What is a cathode ray tube and what did it help to prove?
there are negative electrons on the outside of the atom
What prompted early scientists to propose that the ray of the cathode ray tube was due to the cathode?
The electron had already been discovered. It took little imagination to "see" that the cathode ray was the beam of electrons that originated from the cathode. And the beam was controlled using techniques based directly on what was correctly understood about the electron. The cathode ray could only be an electron beam generated at the cathode. Conventional elctric current flow is usually thought of as flowing from positive to negative, but at the quantum level; due to electrons having a negative charge; technically they really flow from negative to positive, and this is apparent in the cathode ray tube. Its the negatively charged electrons that glow in a cathode ray tube, and do so from the negative terminal, or cathode, hence the name.
What is the Direction of electron flow if two bodies differing in potential are joined by a conducting wire?
Electrons do not really flow. They are like marbles in a tube. You hit one on one end and the one on the other end moves. The electron has a negative charge. The more negative body will move electronic energy towards the more positive body when connected.
How would the electrons produced in a cathode ray tube filled with neon gas compare with the electrons produced in a cathode ray tube filled with chlorine gas?
JJ Thompson passed an electric current through a gas at low pressure from the negative terminal to the positive terminal then decided that the ration is always the same regardless the gas used.
How positive rays are produced in a discharge tube?
deflected away from a negative plat
What are the consequences of discharge tube?
Ddischarge tube led to the discovery of Cathode rays (electrons) and Positive rays (protons) so this discovery of cathode rays and positive rays can be considered as conse quences of discharge tube.
Why did the rays move the paddle wheel in cathode ray tube?
momentum of the electrons
