No, the cathode is negative in a galvanic cell.
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell
Yes, the anode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Yes, the anode is positive in a galvanic cell.
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
The voltaic cell
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the negative electrode.
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is the positive electrode.
A battery that produces electricity
The anode is more prone to corrosion in a galvanic cell.
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.
If the reactants in a galvanic cell are in contact, electrons will flow from the anode (where oxidation occurs) to the cathode (where reduction occurs) through the external circuit. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that can be used to do work.
