The negatively charged electric plate is avoided in favor of the positively charged electric plate by the cathode ray. Thomson was able to estimate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles by measuring the degree to which the ray was refracted by a magnetic field.

What property of the electron did Thomson measure?

  • J.J. Thomson measured the electron's mass in terms of its physical characteristics.
  • Similar experiments were conducted with cathode rays and magnets by William Crookes, who came to the conclusion that cathode rays were made up of negatively charged molecules based on his observations of the rays' deflection by magnetic fields.
  • J.J. Thomson used a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube to conduct experiments that discovered the electron in 1897. He provided evidence that cathode rays have a negative charge.
