Why did jj thomson experiment with cathode tubes imply about the mass of an electron

In 1897, Thomson set out to prove that the cathode rays produced from the cathode were actually a stream of negatively charged particles called electrons. (See Figure 1.8 in the textbook for Thomson's experimental setup). From Maxwell's theory, he knew that charged particles could be deflected in a magnetic field.

Hopefully this helped and have a blessed day, hun!

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
