via resistance.
1 coulomb of electrons/sec (1 ampere) through 1 Ohm of resistance takes 1 volt of electromotive force.
That is... Voltage=E Resistance=R Current=I
E=IR
R=E/I
I=E/R

You can relate the current to the voltage with ohm's law, but as for the actual flow of electrons.....they only go a few inches per hour in actual wires.
You should read this so you don't get confused:

If you don't read it, what is says is that the flow of electrons is related to the current, not the voltage, and also the thickness of the wire.

flow of electrons is current. voltage is the force behind the electrons.Ohms law says voltage =current *resistance V=IR

With Ohm's law.
V = RI
where V is the voltaje and I is the current (the flow of electrons per second).
