Detailed Solution

Thomson suggested that the amount of deviation of the particles from their path in the presence of electric or magnetic field depends upon

(i) the magnitude of the negative charge on the particle. Greater the charge on the particle greater is the interaction with electric or magnetic field and greater is the deflection.
(ii) the mass of the particle-lighter the particle, greater the deflection
(iii) strength of electric or magnetic field-deflection of electrons increases with the increase in the voltage
