### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cathode Rays**: - Cathode rays are streams of electrons emitted from the cathode in a vacuum tube. They are negatively charged particles. 2. **Effect of a Strong Magnetic Field**: - When cathode rays pass through a strong magnetic field, they experience a force due to the Lorentz force law. This force acts perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the cathode rays. - As a result, the cathode rays will bend or change their path instead of continuing in a straight line. ...
