Acid itself cannot generate electricity. The electricity is generated by the flow of the electrons. So we can use active metal & inactive medal with acid to generate electricity.

For example. If you put a copper rod and a zinc rod in acid solution (for example, HCl), connect the two rods with a conductive wire (metal wire). The the electricity will be generated because the electrons will move from the Zinc (active) rod to the copper (inactive) rod
