(N/A) The standard potential of a Daniell cell is $1.1 \ V$.
$(1)$ When an external potential $E_{ext} < 1.1 \ V$ is applied,the cell continues to function as a galvanic cell,and the cell potential is given by $E_{cell} = 1.1 \ V - E_{ext}$.
$(2)$ Since the cell is still producing electrical energy from a chemical reaction,it acts as a galvanic (or voltaic) cell.
