No they are not. There are many different types of pickups that have all types of different shapes.
Single coil pickups, traditionally found on fender Guitars are, to compare with an every day object, about the size of a lip balm stick. These pickups sound bright and snappy. There are two main types of single coil pickups, telecaster shape and stratocaster shape. The difference resides in the mounting method, and hence the guitar body need to be routed accordingly
P 90 pickups are old single coils coil typically found on vintage style Gibsons. They are known to be warmer than fender single coils. These pickups come in two variant: the "regular" and "dog ear", which once again require different routings. A P 90 pickups is about the size of an eraser.
Mini humbuckers are miniaturized humbuckers with a brighter sound, they are very similar in shape to "regular" P 90s, and retrofitting them is relatively easy.
Lastly there are humbuckers. These pickups are very popular and their sound is warmer than most other pickups. They are about 1 inch by 2 inches in dimention. Nearly all humbuckers have the size, save for some that are slightly larger to accomodate the larger string spacing of Floyd Rose bridges.
There are other types of pickups with different dimentions, but these are the main ones.

What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.

What do the pickups on an electric guitar make?
~ The placement of pickups generate different sounds. The pickup closest to the neck (fretboard) will give you a deeper, bass sound. The pickup closest to the Bridge will give you a brighter, more treble of a sound. Electric Guitars have one to 3 pickups depending on the manufactures design and the tone they are trying to produce. Pickups also vary in sound depending on the construction of the pickup. The composite and size of the wire, along with the amount of turns (The full number of wraps around) produce a lighter or heavier sound. The potentiometers (volume and tone pots) used also have a tone quality to the over-all sound the pickup produces. ~ Pickup Switch Switch set to Treble, uses the pickup closest to the Bridge. While the switch set to Rhythm, uses the pickup closest to the neck. The switch should follow the direction of the placement of the pickups. Whether it's a 2 or 3 pickup guitar, the switch works from neck to bridge, controlling one or more of the pickups. 2 Pickup guitar ~ A Two pickup guitar will have a 3-way switch. The Rhythm position, up or towards the neck position, controls only the neck pickup. Moving the switch to the next position, middle, controls both the neck and bridge pickups. Moving the switch to the Treble position, down or towards the bridge, controls only the bridge pickup. 3 Pickup guitar ~ A Three pickup guitar should use a 5-way switch which works similar to the 3-way switch, except it allows the control of the middle pickup. The switch has 5 positions. Starting at the Bridge pickup, is position 1, (switch towards the bridge) the bridge pickup is the only pickup on , and working the neck pickup, is position 5, (switch is towards the neck) the neck pickup is the only one on. The 3rd position (switch is in the middle position) is working the middle pickup only, as it would be the only one on. Switch positions 2 an 4 work both pickups to either side. Position 2 works both the bridge and middle pickup, while position 4 works both the middle and neck pickup.
