When subjected to a transverse electric field, cathode rays move

A

down the potential gradient

B

up the potential gradient

C

along a hyperbolic path

D

along a circular path

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In an electirc field, a force opposite to the direction of electric field acts on negatively charged particles (i.e, from lower potential to higher potential).
