give reason 4 the movement of colloidal particles towards cathode in an electric field.

Because colloidal particles has some charge on them. This is also one of the reason for it's stability.

And not all colloidal particles move towards the cathode in an electric field. It depends on the charge of the colloid.

Colloidal particles which have a positive charge on them exhibit cataphoresis ie. movement of colloidal particles towards the cathode.
