True that Amps or Amperage is the unit to measure the I (current in ohms law). Ohms law is easiest understood (by myself) as ...... the current in a circuit (in amps) which is given the symbol ( I ) is equal to the voltage (symbol E for electromotive force) in units named volts divided by the resistance in units of olms ( with a symbol of R)
or.......within a circuit.......I = E / R or in units...... amps = volts / ohms
