Q. The specific charge for positive rays is much less than that for cathode rays. This is because

Atoms

Solution:

Specific charge $=$ charge/mass. The positive rays are stream of positive ions. The mass of positive ion is much more than that of electrons, hence specific charge of positive ions is less.
