You are a little confused here. Here's a basic equation that will explain everything.

"Voltage=current X resistance" Only one of these terms can be a "variable", the other two are "constants". There are occasions that allow these two values to be equal. However, a "volt" is not an "amp. Think of it this way. Picture a waterfall. The height of it is "voltage", the amout of water falling at any moment is "current" while the rocks and logs are "resistance".

Practical exercise: A circuit has a voltage of 110v. It has a resistance of 10 ohms. If you plug these numbers into the equation you'll get 110/10=current. Current in the circuit is 11 amps. Hope this helps.
