(a)  Common properties of beta rays and cathode rays :

(i)  Both are negatively charged with charge and mass equal to that of an electron.

(ii)  Both are deflected by the electric and magnetic fields.

(iii)  Both cause fluorescence on striking a fluorescent material.

(b)  Difference :  Beta rays differ from cathode rays in their origin.  Beta rays are given out from the nucleus of the atom while cathode rays are given out from the orbital electrons.
