What is a ametre?

Answer 1

Are we talking electricity here? And a meter for testing current flow?

An ammeter measures the amount of current (in amperes) in a closed, powered electrical circuit.

The formula, e=i*r (Voltage = current * resistance) when solved for i is

i=e/r

So if you have 120 volts flowing through a circuit that has a total resistance of 8 ohms, the current would equal 120 / 8 or 15 amperes.

Answer 2

"Ametre" is not a standard term in English. It may be a misspelling or a made-up word. If you meant "metre," it is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 centimetres.
