The ampere, often abbreviated to amp or A.

It measures electrical current which is denoted in Ohm's Law as "I".

The unit or instrument used to measure electric is called "AMMETER"

More detail

The unit is named after the French physicist André Marie Ampère.

<><><>

A current of 1A is equal to 1 coulomb of charge passing a point in 1 second.

<><><>

The ampere is the unit of current. It is approximately 6.24 × 1018 electrons passing a given point each second. See the Related Link shown below for more detail. Ampere

What is the difference between an ampere and an ohm?

An ampere (A) is a unit of electric current, measuring the rate of flow of electric charge. Ohm (Ω) is a unit of electrical resistance, measuring how much a material resists the flow of current. In simple terms, amps measure the flow of electricity, while ohms measure the resistance to that flow.

Unit of electric resistance?

The unit of electric resistance is the ohm, represented by the symbol Ω. It measures the opposition that a material has to the flow of electric current through it. Smaller resistances allow for a larger current flow, while larger resistances restrict the current flow.
