Thomson’s Experiment

Anode +- cathode

Thomson’s Experiment

- cathode anode +

Thomson’s Experiment

• Passing an electric current makes a beam appear to move from the negative to the positive end.

INFERENCE????

•A stream of particles could be seen to flow from cathode to anode.

Experiment 2

INFERENCE?• THE CAUSE OF THE GLOW IS THE INVISIBLE RAYS EMITTED FROM THE NEGATIVE METAL PLATE OF THE DISCHARGE TUBE.

EXPERIMENT 3

ON APPLICATION OF ELECTRICAL FIELD

Thompson’s Experiment

•By adding an electric field

Thompson’s Experiment

• By adding an electric field

Thompson’s Experiment

•By adding an electric field he found the moving particles were negative

INFERENCE

•THE GLOW IS PRODUCED BY NEGATIVELY CHARGED PARTICLES.

EXPERIMENT 4

CHANGED CONDITIONSBUT

SAME RESULT OBTAINED

INFERENCE?

•THERE ARE NEGATIVELY CHARGED PARTICLES IN ALL SUBSTANCES.

THUS, ELECTRONWAS DISCOVERED
