J.J. Thomson's cathode ray experiment was a set of three experiments that assisted in discovering electrons. He did this using a cathode ray tube or CRT. It is a vacuum sealed tube with a cathode and anode on one side.
Explanation:
J.J. Thomson conducted an experiment in which he took a gas at low pressure in a discharge tube and applied high voltage current. When he did so, he noticed that there are some particles emitting from cathode going towards the anode. Then he concluded that they are negatively charged particles and coined them electrons.
