What unit is used to measure resistance
What unit is used to measure current
In a wire . . . . . ampere
In a river . . . . . mile per hour
More detail for the electrical answer
The ampere, often abbreviated to amp or A.
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.

The apparent change in the frequency of a sound emitted by a moving object as it passes a stationary observer is called the what effect
A transformer has 150 turns on the primary coil and is connected to a 120 volt power source How many turns will be needed on the secondary coil to provide a secondary voltage of 600 volts
600 volts is five times the 120 volt primary, so the secondary winding must have 750 turns, which is five times as many turns as the 150 turns of the primary winding.

After an approaching ambulance passes a stationary observer what does the frequency of the sound of the siren heard by the observer appear to do
It decreases.
This is not just apparent. The frequency emitted by the siren is
constant, but the frequency arriving at the observer really does
change.
