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.
