Imagine a hose spraying water. There is 100 gallons of water per minute spraying out of the hose (that is the current). If the hose has a small diameter (that is the resistance or Ohms), then the water pressure (that’s the voltage) will be very high. If the hose’s diameter is large (low resistance) then the pressure (Voltage) will be lower.
