Ohm's law states that, in an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor, from one terminal point on the conductor to another terminal point on the conductor, is directly proportional to the potential difference (i.e. voltage drop or voltage) across the two terminal points and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor between the two terminal points.

Ohm's law is an equation that shows the mathematical relationships between the following electromagnetic properties:
Voltage
Current
Resistance (or Impedance for AC)

The current through a resistive object is directly proportional to the voltage applied to it. So, the more voltage across a resistor, the more current that flows.
The water analogy helps me understand it. Water pressure is like voltage. Resistance is like the size of a hole in the pipe. A teeny tiny hole would be like a high resistance. A gaping hole would be low resistance. Lots of volume of water flowing through the hole would be like high current.
Now imagine low pressure in the pipe for low voltage. High pressure in the pipe is like high voltage. You can have voltage present with no current flowing. That's like the faucet has pressure, but is turned off. Bigger pipes can carry more current just like bigger wires can carry more current because they are less resistive.

The current flow in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor.

the rate of the flow of current is equal to potential difference(or electromotive force if you prefer) divided by resistance.
