Should the electrical term amp or ampere be capitalized since it is named after André-Marie Ampère?

The SI convention is that all SI units, when written in full, are written entirely in lower-case letters. For those units named in honour of individuals, only their symbols are capitalised. For example, the SI unit for power is written as watt but, because it is named in honour of James Watt, its symbol is a capital W.
So it is incorrect to capitalise ampere (not amp!).

An ampere is the SI unit of which of the following?
An ampere is the unit of (electrical) current.
What is the electrical abbreviation mAh?
milliamphere Hour or one-thousandth of an ampere-hour
What is an Ampere hour?
An ampere hour (A.h) is a non-SI unit of measurement for electrical charge (the SI unit is a coulomb-which is equivalent to an 'ampere second'). So an ampere hour is equivalent to 3600 coulombs.Cells and batteries are generally rated in terms of ampere hours, as a convenient alternative to the kilocoulomb.
What is a current measured in?
Ammeters (amps) An Ammeter is a meter for measuring electrical current, the unit of which is the Ampere (amp)
What is the meaning ampere protection?
Amperes refer to the current in an electrical circuit. Ampere protection is rarely used but it refers to current protection. Typically this will relate to protection against over current events with fuses or circuit breakers.

What is the unit voltage?
I am unsure of what your question means, but here goes . . . For example, the unit of electrical current is the Ampere, or just Amp. The unit of electrical resistance is the Ohm. (rhymes with 'home') By the same token, the unit of electromotive force (or EMF) is the Volt. All three units are capitalized because they are real peoples' names. (Ampere, Ohm, and Volta).
