Galvanic and Voltaic Cells

[Johnathan Smith 1D]

Can someone explain the difference between a galvanic and a voltaic cell?

[Jessica Booth 2F]

Galvanic and Voltaic cells are the same. They both get their energy from spontaneous reactions. The E of the cell will be positive and the is negative.

Galvanic and voltaic cells are the same thing. Galvanic cells and electrolytic cells are the ones that are different. They are the opposite of each other. Galvanic cells and voltaic cells are the same things and both convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

[DanielTalebzadehShoushtari2A]

They are synonymous. Its sometimes called a voltaic cell because it operates on the principle of voltage, or the difference in potential between the cathode and anode.

They are the same. The difference is between electrochemical cells and galvanic cells. I believe electrochemical cells convert electrical energy into chemical energy while galvanic cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

[AngieGarcia_4F]

They are synonymous. However, we do need to know the difference between a galvanic and electrolytic cell; galvanic converts chemical energy into electrical energy and an electrolytic cell turns electrical energy into chemical energy.

Galvanic cells and voltaic cells are the same thing. They both generate electrical energy from chemical energy. Electrolytic cells are the opposite.

Galvanic cells and voltaic cells are the same things, they both convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
