I was wondering if there was a formula for the relationship between the charge of a molecule to its velocity and/or its weight. Time can be incorperated.

Sorry, I should include that these macromolecules are being run on a gel (electrophoresis.) The molecules are separated in accordance to their charge, so I was wondering how I could calcuate the charge/velocity/mass.
