Well it all depends on the guitar, but if you are just learning, it doesn't much matter, because you will have wrist and finger pain with either starting out. Bear with it, it will go away in time as your muscles adjust.

Generally yes, largely because the strings are thinner on the electric and the body is more solid.

They have to distribute tension on an acoustic.

Much thinner... If your wrist hurt , it;s because it is bent too much. The wrist should be straight except for chords.
