Describe electrophoresis briefly.


The phenomenon of movement of colloidal particles under an applied electric field is called electrophoresis.

When electric potential is applied across two palantium electrodes across two plantium electrodes depping in colloidal solution, the movement of colloidal particles move towards one or other electrode.

Positively charged particles move towards the cathode while negative charged particles moves towards the anode.


The given figure shows the phenomenon of electrophoresis.
