Answer 1

Answer:

Because opposite charges attracts.

Answer 2

Answer / -

• Hope it helps you to understand it easily and simply.....................

Explanation / -

• Cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles.

• When cathode rays are subjected to an electrical field, these get deflected towards the positively charge plate which is Anode.

• We know that a positively charged body would attract only a negatively charged body, therefore the particles of cathode rays carry negative charge.

• Cathode rays also get deflected when these are subjected to a strong magnetic field.

• The electrons in the cathode rays would deflect toward the positively charged plates, and away from the negatively charged plates.
