Resistance is an opposition to electrical currrent flow, which is more formally coulombs per second, or amperes. Voltage is electrical pressure, more formally joules per coulomb. When you multiply volts and amperes you get joules per second, or watts.
The ratio of voltage to current is called resistance. In hydraulic terms, you can equate voltage to the difference in pressure between two points, current with the resulting flow of fluid between those points , and resistance as the opposition to that flow.
A coil has both resistance and inductance. When you apply a d.c. voltage, the opposition to current is the resistance of the coil. When you apply an a.c. voltage, the opposition to current is impedance -the vector-sum of the coil's resistance and its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the coil and the frequency of the supply.
'Electricity' is not a quantity; it's the name of a subject area or topic (just like 'chemistry'). So 'current' describes a flow of charge (not 'electricity'), expressed in amperes. 'Voltage' (potential difference) is responsible for 'driving' current, expressed in volts. 'Resistance' is the circuit's opposition to current, expressed in ohms.
Pressure from the voltage.
A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.

The three electrical quantities are current voltage and resistance. Current is measured in amperes (A) and is the rate at which electricity flows through a conductor. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and is the electrical force pushing the current through the conductor. Resistance is measured in ohms () and is the opposition to the flow of current. Current - measured in amperes (A) Voltage - measured in volts (V) Resistance - measured in ohms ()
It is measured in ohms. It is the opposition of movement of electric charge. It is related to voltage and current by Ohm's Law. Resistance is what builds up pressure and it can also generate heat as with friction.
I resistor is called so because it provides electrical resistance (measured in ohms). Electrical resistance describes how an electrical conductor (a wire) opposes the flow of an electrical current (flow of electrons). To overcome this opposition a voltage (a energy) must dropped (used) across the conductor (wire).
The ratio of voltage to current is called resistance. In hydraulic terms, you can equate voltage to the difference in pressure between two points, current with the resulting flow of fluid between those points , and resistance as the opposition to that flow.

In a water system, the "voltage" is the water pressure, the flow rate is the "current", and the pipe size is the "resistance". Low-voltage electrical current is equivalent to low-pressure water.
A coil has both resistance and inductance. When you apply a d.c. voltage, the opposition to current is the resistance of the coil. When you apply an a.c. voltage, the opposition to current is impedance -the vector-sum of the coil's resistance and its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the coil and the frequency of the supply.
Electrical impedance is the total opposition to current flow. It includes both a resistive, or DC component and a reactive, or frequency-dependant component. Impedance is the same as resistance if the applied voltage is DC. For AC voltage, the reactive components opposition to current flow changes with frequency, so impedance is typically specified at a particular frequency.
