The power supply in gel electrophoresis is used to provide an electrical current that helps move charged molecules through the gel. By applying a voltage across the gel, DNA, RNA, or proteins migrate towards the opposite electrode based on their size and charge. This allows for the separation and analysis of molecules based on their molecular weight.
The main parts of electrophoresis are the gel matrix (such as agarose or polyacrylamide gel), the electrophoresis chamber (which contains electrodes for creating an electric field), and the power supply (which provides the electric current). Sample wells, buffer solutions, and a visualization method (like staining or fluorescence) are also key components.
You can measure the current and power of a 'power supply', using an ammeter and a wattmeter. With the power supply connected to its load, the ammeter must be connected in series with the power supply's input. The wattmeter's current coil must also be connected in series with the power supply's input, and its voltage coil must be connected in parallel with the supply, taking the instrument's polarity markings into account.

infact i think the power supply be replaced with new one. infact i think the power supply be replaced with new one.
We use the 250 ohms with the power supply because the internal resistance of a DC power supply is insufficient to develop a resistance.

There are several factors that control the rate at which a sample moves or migrates in a gel. One of those factors is electric power supply. The larger the voltage applied, the faster the migration. However, there is an upper limit to how much voltage can be applied. If the voltage is too high, it will cause heating in the electrophoresis module and this is turn will negatively affect the integrity of the gel.
The word "developed" is slightly odd in this context. If the power supply provides a current to some instrument or device, the power supplied is the voltage multiplied by the current. The power supply will also consume some power itself to do this job. The total power consumed (provided to the power supply) equals the input current multiplied by the input voltage.

Common troubleshooting techniques for resolving issues with gel electrophoresis include checking the power supply and connections, ensuring proper buffer levels and pH, verifying the integrity of the gel and samples, and adjusting voltage and run time as needed.
I've had the same problem. This is the second time it's happened to me. Last time? It was the central power supply (or a power supply of some sort, but I think it was "central power supply"). It's probably the same thing now.

You do not have to; a simple power supply can use as few as 1 transistor. Supply a drawing, or explain your schematic.

Induction-type instrument measure power in alternating-current circuits and are the type commonly seen on the outside of houses.
You have to excite it with a sinusoidal signal then measure the current or voltage
