  "term": "Electroosmosis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The bulk flow of a liquid through a porous medium or a capillary tube under the influence of an applied electric field. This phenomenon arises from the interaction between the electric field and the mobile counter-ions in the electrical double layer at the solid-liquid interface. It is a key driving force in capillary electrophoresis.",
