A battery that produces electricity
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.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
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.
Zinc is the anode.
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic 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.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.

The magnesium would be the cathode in a galvanic cell with zinc. Reduction occurs at the cathode during cell operation, and in this case, magnesium is reduced while zinc undergoes oxidation at the anode.
The electrolyte of a commercial galvanic cell normally extends from anode to cathode without interruption by a salt bridge. A salt bridge is normally a teaching tool to help show that: 1. Galvanic half-cells do not produce voltage 2. Conductors and insulators are not necessarily salt bridges. An electrolyte must extend from anode to cathode before the galvanic cell can produce voltage. 3. The chemical composition of the salt bridge can differ from the electrolytes in the half cells. 4. Ions travel through the salt bridge between the cell's anode and cathode. Salt bridges raise more questions than answers. For example: 1. Can the difference between an electrolyte and a conductor be defined? 2. How do ions quickly move through a solid or a long electrolyte? 3. When salt bridge composition differs from the galvanic cell electrolyte(s), must the salt bridge chemically react with the galvanic cell electrolyte(s)? 4. Why does galvanic cell voltage remain nearly constant while anode to cathode distance doubles.
