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.

How can you convert the voltage into milli amps?
Voltage is a property of electrical potential. Amperes (and miliamperes) are the units of electrical current. Even though these are related to each other in a circuit, they are not the same thing, and they cannot be "converted" into each other.Also, these properties are only related through a "load" the circuit provides (the resistance and inductance of the circuit), and make sense only when related to each other this way. If there is current, there will be voltage as well, but if there's only voltage, there will be no current unless there is some resistance as well (even a wire has resistance) - otherwise the circuit is "open" and no charge is flowing.In a simple circuit with a voltage source and resistor:milliamps = voltage*1000/resistance.If your circuit has diodes, capacitors, inductors, etc. it gets much more complicated.
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
If you multiply the voltage in a circuit by the current what are you going to get for your answer?
Voltage x current = power (watts)
What is the relationship between voltage and current in an inductive circuit?
Current lags voltage in an inductive circuit. The angle by which it lags depends on the frequency of the AC, and on the relative size of the inductance compared to the resistance in the circuit.
What happens to voltage in a parallel circuit?
Voltage can be divided by a voltage divider, also known as a potential divider. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations:voltage divider (potentiometer) - damping pad - loaded and open circuit (unloaded) - voltage drop at the voltage divider"
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.
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 the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What is a 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)

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 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.
How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?
The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.
