The process by which charged particles will tend to migrate toward a less charged area.  Generally, when we think of this, we think of an electrolysis process where cations move in one direction, anions move in the other, and the net movement over the sample is zero.  However, commonly there are areas of higher charge density, and the electroosmotic effect can greatly affect the behavior of the liquid.
