Definition
Ampere is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the rate at which electric charge flows through a conductor.
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit, measured in ohms.
Ohm's Law: Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it and inversely proportional to its resistance.
