Simple galvanic cell

Definition and Construction of Electrochemical Cell

The cells used for electrolysis are called electrolytic cells while those used for generation of electrical energy from chemical reactions are called galvanic or voltaic cells. The practical application of a galvanic cell is Daniel cell. The electrode where oxidation occurs is called anode and the electrode where reduction occurs is called cathode. John Daniell
