Voltage, or "electromotive force" are measured in volts; electrical current is measured in amperes; and resistance is measured in ohms. They are related to one another by ohms law:
E = i x r, where E is electromotive force, i is current, and r is resistance.

Actually just saying "electricity" is an enormous oversimplification. Watts and amperes measure aspects of electricity as well. Volts are a measure of Electro Motor Force or EMF.

What is the abbreviation of hectare?
It is 'ha'. The hectare is a unit of measurement of 10,000 square metres, or a square with sides of 100 metres.
What metric unit of measurement is used on a volt meter?
The volt.
What is the measurement unit of potential difference?
Volt
Potential difference si unit?
VOLT.... the measurement used is work done per unit charge, the symbol is a V same as for a volt.
Unit of measurement for electromotive force?
emf has SI units of volts, equivalent to joules per coulomb.
What is the unit for measuring voltage?
Volts is the unit measurement for voltage Current is amperes or amps for short Resistance is ohms
What is the basic metric measurement unit that is equal to 1 Volt Amperes?
1 volt x 1 ampere = 1 watt, a unit of power. One watt is also the same as one joule / second.
What is the unit measurement for resistance?
the answer is ohms
What is the unit of potential difference?
The unit for electric potential difference is the volt (V).
What dose volt mean?
volt is a measurement of electricity
What are watts volts amps and electricity power?
Watts, volts and amps are units of measurement. Watt is the unit of measurement for power. 1 watt (W) = 1 joule (j) per second (s) (1 W = 1 j/s). Volt is the unit of measurement for voltage. 1 volt (V) = 1 joule per coulomb (c) (1 V = 1 j/c). Amp is the unit of measurement for current. 1 Amp (A) = 1 coulomb per second (1 A = 1 c/s).
Is power factor defined as volt amps divided by apparent power?
No. The volt ampere (V.A) is the unit of measurement of apparent power. Power factor is true power (expressed in watts) divided by apparent power (expressed in volt amperes).
What are the units of measurement for electricity?
The SI units used in electricity include: coulomb- unit of electrical charge volt - unit of potential (joule/coulomb) ampere - unit of current flow (coulombs per second) watt - unit of power (volt-ampere) ohm - unit of resistance farad - unit of capacitance henry - unit of inductance siemens - unit of conductance
