what is a galvanic cell

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

A galvanic cell, on the other hand, produces electrical energy as a result of a spontaneous redox process. The electron transfer characteristic of such a process is made to occur in two separate half-cells. Electrons released during an oxidation half-equation must flow through a wire or other external circuit before they can be accepted in a reduction half-equation. Consequently an electrical current is made to flow. http://wiki.chemprime.chemeddl.org/images/thumb/5/53/Galvanic_Cell.jpg/480px-Galvanic_Cell.jpg
