Electrical resistance (to current flow) is measured in ohms.
Current flow (the actual movement of electrons) is measured in amperes (amps for short).
Voltage is electrical potential and measured in volts.
They are all related to each other through Ohm's Law which states that voltage (in volts) equals current (in amperes) multiplied by resistance (in ohms). With any of the two figures known, you can compute the third.

Electric resistance is measured in Ohm. Ampere is the unit to measure current.

Well, it's not amperes, because that's current.
And potential is Volts,
so it must be ohms.
OK, I looked it up to be sure:

Yes, ohms
