A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy generated by spontaneous redox reactions. The main difference between Daniell cell and galvanic cell is that Daniell cell uses only copper and zinc as electrodes whereas a galvanic cell can have a variety of metals as electrodes.

Is galvanic cell also known as Daniell cell?

A Daniell cell is the best example of a galvanic cell which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The Daniell cell consists of two electrodes of dissimilar metals, Zn and Cu; each electrode is in contact with a solution of its own ion; Zinc sulphate and copper sulphate respectively.

What is another name for the galvanic cell?

A Voltaic Cell (also known as a Galvanic Cell) is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It consists of two separate half-cells.
