Actually, they are not related. They are two separate components. To illustrate: take a waterfall for example. The current (amperage) flowing over the waterfall is the current or amperage (how much water is going over the waterfall. The Voltage is, essentially, the potential energy available. If the water fall is 100 feet tall it will have significantly more "voltage" than if it is only one inch tall. A 100 foot high water fall that has only one drop of water per second going over it will have a high "voltage" but a very low current. A one inch waterfall have 300,000 gallons per second going over it will have a very high "current" but low voltage. So concerning an electrical circuit, if one of the current or voltage are low enough it will not harm you regardless of how high the other one is. Volts and amperage together basically combined in a formula to determine the number of watts, but they are not specifically related to each other.
As per Ohm's law V=IR where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance. since Voltages is equal to current times resistance than makes them directly proportional to each other and therefor related.

Current and voltage are related in a circuit through Ohm's Law, which states that voltage is equal to the current multiplied by the resistance of the circuit (V=IR). In other words, an increase in voltage will result in a proportional increase in current if the resistance remains constant, and vice versa. Ohm's Law helps to understand and predict the behavior of electrical circuits.

How does changing the voltage in a circuit affect the current in the circuit?
Changing the voltage in a circuit will alter the current flowing through it. According to Ohm's Law, the current is directly proportional to the voltage in the circuit. Increasing the voltage will lead to an increase in current, and vice versa.
What are the 2 rules for the voltage and current in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit. The voltage across each component in a series circuit adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.
How can you convert the voltage into milli amps?
To convert voltage to milliamps, you need to know the resistance in the circuit. You can use Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is current in amps, V is voltage, and R is resistance in ohms. To convert amps to milliamps, multiply the result by 1000.
When does the electric current flow?
Electric current flows when there is a closed circuit with a pathway for electrons to move from a higher voltage point to a lower voltage point. When the circuit is complete, the flow of electrons creates an electric current.
What is the relationship between voltage and current in an inductive circuit?
In an inductive circuit, the current lags behind the voltage due to the energy stored in the inductor's magnetic field. The voltage leads the current by 90 degrees in an ideal inductive circuit. The relationship between voltage and current is described by the equation V = L di/dt, where V is voltage, L is inductance, di is change in current, and dt is change in time.
What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
How are current and voltage related to the power supplied by the source?
in ac circuits power,P=VICOS@ @ is the angle between voltage and current. in dc P=VI V is the voltage I is the current. Power (in Watts) is current (A) x voltage (V)
If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?
Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.
What are the 2 rules for the voltage and current in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit. The voltage across each component in a series circuit adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What is a relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
A circuit with a lagging current means the circuit is?
Inductive. Voltage (E) leads current (I) in an inductive (L) circuit and current (I) leads voltage (E) in a capacitive (C) circuit. (ELI the ICEman)
How are current and resistance related in a circuit?
The current between any two points in the circuit is the voltage between those two points divided by the resistance between the same points.
What cause the voltage t lead current in an ac circuit?
Voltage leads current or, more specifically current lags voltage, in an inductive circuit. This is because an inductor resists a change in current.
How can you convert the voltage into milli amps?
To convert voltage to milliamps, you need to know the resistance in the circuit. You can use Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is current in amps, V is voltage, and R is resistance in ohms. To convert amps to milliamps, multiply the result by 1000.
