Verified by Experts

In figure particles number 1 and 2 are negatively charged because these are deviated towards the positively charged plate. As particle number 3 is being deviated towards negatively charged plate, it is positively charged particles.
As deflection of particle number 3 is maximum and the deflection is directly proportional to the ratio of charges to mass of the particle, we conclude that ratio of charges to mass is maximum for particle number 3. is maximum and the deflection is directly proportional to the ratio of charges to mass of the particle, we conclude that ratio of charge to mass is maximum for particle number 3.
