Question:
Rutherford studied alpha particles using the crossed-field technique Thomson had invented to study cathode rays. Assuming that valpha ≈ vcathode ray (which turns out to be true), would the deflection of an alpha particle by a magnetic field be larger than, smaller than, or the same as the deflection of a cathode-ray particle by the same field? Explain.
