How does resistance convert voltage to current?

2 3 $begingroup$ This is a statement that I read mainly on books about electronics. Could someone explain why after the resistance current is what makes things work and not voltage? Example from the Art of Electronics of Horowitz/Winfield:" Roughly speaking resistors are used to convert a voltage to a current and vice versa.This may sound awfully trite Also it is a common practice when someone is working with solenoid proportional valves: A resistance is added before the solenoid so that it shall be controlled by current and not voltage because voltage will drop in case that temperature will rise.
