Yes it will. but it's not ideal. Good acoustic amp is tailored to respond to the frequencies that the acoustic-electric guitar is emitting.

No will be different. Acoustic amp is better for such job as they have more headroom.

mr WJ refers to Acoustic Guitar plug into normal electric guitar amp, I believe.
 
Yes I understand, but an electric amp simply does not have the headroom and equivalent acoustic amp will give. Electric amp will distort easier.
 
Electric guitar amp won't give you the pristine acoustic sound from a acoustic amp but for jamming purposes if you're not too picky it'll do fine. You can also use a keyboard amp instead of an acoustic amp, but of coz acoustic amp is best.
