MCQ
In which of the following fields cathode rays show minimum deflection?
  • A
    Electric field
  • B
    Magnetic field
  • C
    Plasma field
  • Gravitational field

Answer

Correct option: D.
Gravitational field

Gravitational field applies minimum force on cathode rays because gravitational forces are proportional to masses but not charges.
