Acids produce H+ ions in solution.

Since it produces ions in solution and ions can carry current.

Hence acids can conduct electricity as it produces ions in solution.

Strong acids dissociate completly and produce more ions (than weaker acids which do not dissociate completly) so strong acids are better conductors of electricity.
