Butcher has alluded to a basic electronics principle. With DC current (it is not as cut and dried in high frequency situations), current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. Always.

So, for every DC circuit, there are three unknowns: current, voltage and resistance. Supply two of those values and you can do simple algebra to find the third.
