An acoustic 'cello amplifies it's sound inside it's hollow body, an electric 'cello (whilst usually being shaped slightly differently) amplifies it's self ... using an amplifier. you can also use an electric 'cello with headphones so you can practice with out others hearing.
plus, i don't think electric 'cellos are accepted in most orchestras, just as coloured instruments aren't.

How is an electric cello different to an acoustic cello?
Well, it's a bit like asking how an acoustic guitar is different to an electric one.An electric cello is shaped very differently to an acoustic one; it looks kind of a stick with strings and knee rests, if you can picture that. And, of course, it plugs into an amplifier, so the sound is a lot louder. This makes it good for bands and large music groups, because in situations like thee acoustic cellos tend to get drowned out. I'm told an electric cello is more difficult to play than an acoustic one.Oh, and electric cellos only come in full size.

What is the basic difference between a cello and an electric cello?
The basic difference between a cello and an electric cello is shape and sound. An acoustic cello amplifies sound naturally inside the hollow body sound-box of the instrument. The electric cello has a slightly different shape, no resonant chamber at all, and a unique tone.

What can an electric guitar can be considered as?
An electric guitar is as most guitars a string instrument. Not too much unlike the other string instruments; violin, banjo, cello, etc. The difference is that the electric guitar was designed to send string vibration signals to be amplified far beyond their acoustic capabilities... in fact, they have very little to no acoustic sound. There have been other sting instruments that use the same pickup methods, though are quite uncommon or "unconventional" for their use, ie. the electric violin.
