You can.  It would be like experimenting with the tones by switching the strings. Strings of guitar are made by keeping it's type ( either it is electric... Acoustic or classical)  in mind and accordingly the strings produced the tone.

You can try switching them by keeping these facts in mind that the string gauge variates fo it may end up creating some buzz while playing guitar. 

In general the string gugae ( thickness) used for Acoustic is heavier than the electric. 

If you put heavier gauge strings on electric it may end up some damage on your electric guitar fretboard. 

When it comes to experiment anything can happen.

electric guitar strings will work just fine on an acoustic. There's no reason that nickel guitar strings are any better or worse than 80/20 bronze acoustic guitar strings or phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings.
