What happens when the cathode rays are passed through an electric field between two parallel plates? Can one determine the nature of the charge of the particles constituting the cathode rays from this experiment? If Yes, how?

Explanation:
When the cathode rays are passed through an electric field between two parallel plates the rays will deflect towards the positive plate of the parallel plate. As the cathode rays are considered to be the beam of electrons which are negatively so they get attracted towards positively charged plates.
Of course one can determine the nature of the charge of the particle constituting the cathode rays from this experiment because of deflection of rays.
