Assertion: The cathode rays in Thomson's experiments were deflected towards the positive plate in the electric field.
Reasoning: The cathode rays in Thomson's experiments were negatively charged particles.
Both assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
The assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
Both the assertion and reasoning are false.
Answers (1)
Correct option a) Both assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Thomson's experiments with cathode rays led to the discovery of electrons and the development of his atomic model. The cathode rays were deflected towards the positive plate in the electric field, indicating that they were negatively charged particles. Therefore, the assertion is true that the cathode rays in Thomson's experiments were deflected towards the positive plate in the electric field. The reasoning given is also true, and it is the correct explanation of the assertion. Since the cathode rays were negatively charged, they were attracted to the positive plate in the electric field and deflected towards it. Thus, option a) is the correct answer. Option b) is incorrect because the reasoning is the correct explanation of the assertion. Option c) is incorrect because the assertion and reasoning are both true. Option d) is incorrect because both the assertion and reasoning are true.
