Electrophoresis is performed in a buffer solution with a static pH. An electric field is applied to the electrophoresis chamber containing a positive end and a negative end. If the pH of the substance being electrophoresed is lower than the surrounding buffer, it will migrate towards the positive end. If the substance has a pH higher than the surrounding buffer, it will migrate towards the negative end. Substances migrate at different rates based on two things: particle size, and overall charge. The greater the difference between the migrating substance's pH and the pH of the surrounding buffer, the faster that substance will migrate through the gel. Large molecules get "stuck" due to friction forces and migrate less rapidly than smaller particles that can navigate through the gel with very little resistance.
electrophoresis of proteins is of different types. It actually depends on proteins,
on eof such types is isoelectric foccusing which entirely depends on the isoelectric point of the protein. Isoelectric point is the pint at which the net charge of the protein is zero.
A sample of amino acids and a buffer solution is placed on gel. Voltage is then applied to the gel. If the isoelectric point of the amino acid is below the pH of the buffer, it will become negatively charged. The amino acids will move towards oppositely charged electrodes and they will separate according to the molecular masses. The position of the amino acids can be detect by staining them. The distances travelled by the amino acids are then measured and compared in standards.
Electrophoresis technique is not designed to cut DNA molecule. When DNA is analyzed by electrophoresis to determine its molecular mass, the molecular biology engineer usualy digests the DNA molecule, before the electrophoresis, with specific enzymes called "restriction enzymes" in order to obtain fragments of diverse molecular weights that can be seen as bands in electrophoresis gels.

Gel electrophoresis
The DNA fragments comes from the method of DNA isolation.
Electrophoresis
In electrophoresis, DNA is subjected to an electric field which causes the genetic material to migrate in a direction from a cathode to an anode. The DNA that is closest to the anode is determined to be shorter in length compared to the DNA that is closer to the anode. This is explained by fact that the smaller fragments of DNA are better able to travel through the porous gel.
Ethidium bromide interchalates with DNA. It doesn't affect electrophoresis, but it help visualise the DNA bands after electrophoresis. The EtBr that is bound to the DNA will fluoresce under ultraviolet light.

Ethidium bromide and coomassie blue are some stains that can be used in DNA electrophoresis.

Gel electrophoresis is a method for separation and analysis of macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins) and their fragments, based on their size and charge.The tool of DNA gel electrophoresis was developed in the 1970s. The process uses electricity to separate DNA fragments by size as they migrate through a gel matrix.It can be used to separate proteins that are used in genetically modified foods.

One of the Conclusion of electrophoresis is Visualization of the DNA size. Second is Sequencing the length of DNA of the body.
Agarose gel electrophoresis is suitable for ALL DNA.
