The major difference is the presence or absence of external energy source. In an electrolytic cell, one does not need an outside source of energy like a battery while in a voltaic cell the reaction occurs simultaneously, or without help. The other major difference is that in an electrolytic cell, the flow of electrons is from positive(cathode) to negative(anode). In a voltaic cell the flow of electrons is from negative(anode) to positive(cathode).

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?

Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”

“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”
