Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.

∙ 9y agoBecause 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.

∙ 13y agothis is actually a physics question.
and the answer to this question is actually quite simple, electrons must always flow from a lower potential to a higher potential, example negative to neutral and neutral to positive. since negative has lower potential than the positive end, it will flow from the negative end to the positive end.

∙ 13y agobecause the rays are negitivly charged particals.

Stream of electrons produced at the negative electrode of a tube containing a gas at a low pressure?
cathode ray
Is glass insulator or conductor?
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
What did William Crookes discover with his glass tube experiment?
Cathodes(electrons) (-)
In a cathode ray tube where do the particles originate and what do they move toward?
The particles originate from the Cathode in the neck of the tube. They are liberated by a heater. The electrons thus liberated are attracted by the Anode, by applying a high voltage to it. In a CRT there are several anodes, the largest and biggest is formed by a coating inside the tube towards the screen. This attracts and accelerates the electrons in a stream of particles known as a 'cathode ray'. They carry on in a straight line, once accelerated, until they hit the screen and cause a phosphor coating to glow, on the inside surface of the screen. The cathode ray can be bent from it's course, by using electromagnets arranged around the neck of the tube.
Electricity refers to elections that do not move lighting?
Electricity is electrons moving through a conductor like copper and creating a current. So no it does not create light unless you rune the electricity through a florescent tube.
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 negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by 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.
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
