its negatively charged particles of matter,Thomson knew that opposites attract but these the positive charged anode,so he reasoned that the paticles must be negatively charged! : )! Wooooo! Go J.J Thomson

How do charged plates affect the path of cathode rays?

The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.
