Q. According to Thomson, the amount of deviation of the particles from their path in the presence of electrical or magnetic field depends upon

Structure of Atom

Solution:

According to Thomson, the amount of deviation of the particles from their path in the presence of electrical or magnetic field depends upon
(a) the magnitude of the negative charge on the particle-greater the magnitude of the charge on particle, greater is the interaction with electrical or magnetic field and thus, greater is the deflection.
(b) the mass of the particle-lighter the particle, greater the deflection.
(c) the strength of the electrical or magnetic field-the deflection of electrons from its original path increases with increase in the voltage across the electrodes or the strength of the magnetic field.
