The migration of positively-charged colloidal particles under an electrical field, towards the cathode is called :
Correct answer: A. Cataphoresis
- A. Cataphoresis
- B. Electrosmosis
- C. Sedimentation
- D. Electrodialysis
Explanation
If the experiment is set such that only the colloidal particles are allowed to move and not the dispersion media particles it is known as cataphoresis or electrophoresis.

About Solutions and Colloids
Solutions are described using molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction, percentage concentration and parts per million. Coverage also includes vapour-pressure lowering, boiling-point elevation, freezing-point depression and osmotic pressure, then distinguishes true solutions, colloids and suspensions by particle size, stability, light scattering and settling.
