When combined with Thomsoms determina-
tion of the mass to charge ratio of the electron,
Millikans experimental work allowed for the
determination of the
1.
charge on the electron.
2.
All of the above.
3.
speed of the electron.
4.
mass of the electron.

What experimental evidence led Thomson to
conclude that cathode rays were negatively
charged?
1.
Cathode rays were deflected towards a
negatively charged plate
2.
Cathode rays pushed a paddle wheel
counterclockwise
3.
False; cathode rays are positively charged,
not negatively charged
4.
Cathode rays were deflected towards a
positively charged plate
5.
Cathode rays pushed a paddle wheel
clockwise

In the cathode ray tube experiment, it was
found that a beam of cathode rays were able
to turn a paddle wheel, thus proving that
1.
electrons are negatively charged.
2.
electrons have mass.
3.
cathode rays are actually electrons.
4.
all of the above.
5.
protons are positively charged.
005

200 times heavier than
2.
about the same mass as
3.
2000 times heavier than
4.
2000 times lighter than
006
