Best Answer

In 1930, George Beauchamp successfully created the first electrically amplified guitar through the use of metal plates to detect string vibration. Several years before that, Les Paul was experimenting with several methods of amplifying the acoustic sound of the actual guitar. Once Beauchamp sold the patent to Rickenbacker, in 1932 the first electric Guitars were made. A few years later, Les Paul began making some of the better guitars that are still made today.

Which is best for an 11 year old to learn on a electric or acoustic guitar?

It's really up to them. Though, I would suggest an electric guitar since it is easier to learn on; but after learning how to play an acoustic guitar first, the electric should be much easier. You should consider going to a music store and let them decide which one they are more comfortable playing, you may decide to buy both!
