Ohm's law defines the relationship between the voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit: I = V / R. The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
The amount of current in a circuit depends on the amount of voltage available to motivate the electrons, and also the amount of resistance in the circuit to oppose electron flow. Just like voltage, resistance is a quantity relative between two points.
