difference between galvanic and voltaic

[marcus lin 1E]

What's the difference between a galvanic cell and a voltaic cell?

[Sierra Cheslick 2B]

They are the same thing, just with two different names.

[Lauren Ho 2E]

They are the same, but referred to with two different named because they are named after Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta.

[Rimsha Hussaini 1A]

A voltaic cell refers to a galvanic cell and vice versa. A voltaic, aka a galvanic, cell is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from the redox reactions within the cell.

[Sean Reyes 1J]

A Galvanic cell and a voltaic cell are the same thing. There are other cells, though, such as an electrolytic cell.
A Galvanic/voltaic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous reaction i.e. converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
