It all depends on what type of acoustic guitar it is, if its a classical then its nylon strung, steel strung acoustics can use the same strings as an electric. Some people prefer "bronze" strings for their acoustic.

As a side note, It is important to understand strings and acoustic/classical Guitars.
Classical or palor Guitars are best suited using nylon strings since most do not have truss rods in the neck. Therefore keeps the string tension less and not an aid in warping the neck. DO NOT put steel strings on a Classical guitar! Nylon strings also create a warmer more inviting sound for the style of music played.
A classical guitar has a slotted headstock not solid and tuning keys are in a downward position.
Bronze Phospher strings are best suited for a standard acoustic guitar which Notably has a solid headstock with horizontal tuning keys. These guitars generally have an adjustable truss rod in the neck and aid in support of the string tension pull. Bronze strings allow a less pull on the neck while allowing ease of tuning and a somewhat brighter sound that nylon and warmer than steel. Steel strings can be used on a standard acoustic, but I don't recommended using them.
There are many style and gauge strings available for all guitars, when in doubt go to your local music store and ask for help, its free, with the purchase of a set of strings.
To fix a broken electric guitar string, you need to remove the broken string, replace it with a new one of the same gauge, and tune it to the correct pitch using the tuning pegs.

A 12-string electric guitar has double the number of strings compared to a standard 6-string electric guitar. This results in a richer, fuller sound with a chorus-like effect. The unique features and benefits of a 12-string electric guitar include a unique tone, increased resonance, and a wider range of sound possibilities due to the doubled strings.
To fix an electric guitar string, first loosen the tuning peg corresponding to the broken string. Remove the broken string from the bridge and the tuning peg. Replace it with a new string of the same gauge. Thread the new string through the bridge and the tuning peg, then tighten the tuning peg to tune the string to the desired pitch. Cut off any excess string.
