in j.j thomsons experiment with the cathode rays,it was proved that the negative charge was carried by a particle called electron.
it was also concluded by his experiment that 'the particles are deflected by electric and magnetic fields indicating that they are electrically charged'.
how does magnetic field affect electrons?

Hello,
Since electrons are negatively charged particles, they are attracted more towards positive fields and repelled from negative fields. In Thomson's experiment, they would be deflected by negatively charged fields and therefore he would conclude they were negatively charged particles. <<

An accelerating electric charge will create a magnetic field associated with the moving electric charge. When this magnetic field encounters another magnetic field, the interaction between the two magnetic fields will exert a force on the moving electric charge (in this case the moving electrons).
