AboutPhilip Carlson Ph.D. (Cand.) Expertise Prefer questions regarding general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry. Have less knowledge about organic chemistry but can help with most undergraduate organic chemistry questions not related to reactions and their mechanisms.
Experience Highly experienced in physical chemistry both theoretical and experimental. Current research focus is fluorescence spectroscopy and electronic structure theory (e.g. quantum mechanics). Past research focus was in analytical chemistry in the area of photocatalysis.

Question How can a magnet repel or attract an electron ray?
If the electron ray (i.e. cathode ray tube) has no magnetism, how can a magnet attract or repel it? Magnetism and electric charges aren't the same thing.
Answer The laws of electro-magnetism tell us that both concepts (electric charges and magnetic fields) are integrally related. And in either case they posses a negative charge which would be attracted to a positive charge. The basic answer to your question is:
Through the influence of either magnetic fields.
