Answer:
Two equations crop up related to the question::
a) The power which generates the electricity.
b)The resistance, R, of the medium through which the current is supposed to flow.
P= V*I*Cos Phi. Therefore, higher the power, higher will be the voltage and current output.
Also, V=I*R OR I=V/R.
Even the if the power is sufficiently high leaving room for large current; if the resistance is high enough, it will diminish the value of current as more potential is needed to drive the current through the body/medium. So power is used up in setting up the voltage and in driving the charge,ie,electrons.
Conceptually therefore, higher voltage does not necessarily mean higher current.
