Identify the RIGHT statements from the following
a) Thomson argued that the amount of deviation of the particles from their path in the presence of electrical or magnetic field depends upon the following reasons.
b) The magnitude of the negative charge on the particle, greater the magnitude of the charge on the particle, greater is the interaction with the electric or magnetic field and thus greater is the deflection
c) The mass of the particle — lighter the particle, greater the deflection.
d) the strength of the electrical or magnetic field — the deflection of electrons from its original path increases with the increase in the voltage across the electrodes, or the strength of the magnetic field
