basically JJ Thomson wanted to find out what a cathode ray was made of. Cathode tubes are a tube with wires in them. Scientists discovered that if the created a vacuum in the tube and sent a charge through the wires, it glowed. JJ Thomson set up a cathode ray and placed magnets on either side. This deflected the ray so the tube didn't glow. This meant the rays were negatively charged which meant they were made of negatively charged particles or electrons.

What following piece of equipment was used by jj Thomson to find electrons?

J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube to discover electrons. By passing an electric current through the tube, he observed the deflection of a beam of electrons, which led to his conclusion about the existence of electrons.

This refers to when electromagnets were used rather than electrostatics to direct electron flow in a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). Coils would be placed around the neck of the tube to influence the deflection of the cathode ray (electron flow) to the screen.
