According to Thomson the amt of deviation of the cathode ray particles from their path in the presence of elec and mag field depend on :

 1.  (   )The magnitude of the negative charge on the particle.

 2.   ( 1/  )    Mass of the particle .

 

THe dates support that ions and other cahrged species were not taken into consideration during the expt . so they speaking of only electrons and the nucleus.

SO THE FIRST STATEMENT SAYS THAT GREATER THE NEGATIVE CHARGE(MORE THE Z) , MORE THE DEVIATION, WHEREAS THE SECOND STATEMENT SAYS THAT LIGHTER THE PARTICLE , MORE THE DEVIATION. 

BUT BOTH THE STATEMENTS CONTRADICT EACH OTHER. PLS ELUCIDATE

THANK YOU
