Difference between Galvanic cell and fuel cell?
« on: April 15, 2009, 08:59:48 AM »
What is the diffence between a Galvanic cell and fuel cell?

The Galvanic cell, is a part of a battery consisting of an electrochemical cell with two different metals connected by a salt bridge.

Whereas the fuel cell is an electrochemical conversion device. It produces electricity from an anode and a cathode, which react in the presence of an electrolyte.

Is this correct??

Thanks.
