A voltaic battery is also known as a voltaic pile, which is a set (or pile) of galvanic cells linked together in series to create a larger voltage than could be generated by a single galvanic cell. Therefore a voltaic cell would simply be one element of the pile which is also one galvanic cell.
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell
The voltaic cell
An electrolytic cell
An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, typically involving the decomposition of compounds, while a galvanic (or voltaic) cell generates electrical energy from spontaneous chemical reactions. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a galvanic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive. Additionally, electrolytic cells require an external power source, while galvanic cells operate independently by harnessing the energy from chemical reactions.

Galvanic cell, voltaic cell, electrochemical cell. Do not confuse it with electrolytic cell.
A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively.In 1780, Luigi Galvani discovered the Galvanic cell.The volatic pile invented by Alessandro Volta in the 1800s is similar to the galvanic cell.
Yes, galvanic cell and voltaic cell are the same type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. They both rely on redox reactions to generate an electric current.
In an electrolytic cell, an external power source is needed to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction, while in a voltaic cell, the redox reaction is spontaneous and generates electric energy. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a voltaic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.
An electrolytic cell requires an external power source to drive the non-spontaneous redox reactions, while a voltaic cell generates its own electrical energy from spontaneous reactions. This external power source is essential for the electrolytic cell to function, as it facilitates the movement of electrons and ions necessary for the electrolysis process. In contrast, a voltaic cell operates independently without needing an external energy input.
