Electronics question.

Hey guys, quick electrical question for you. I'm learning a bit about electronics, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how to apply ohm's law with a regulated power supply. Basically I have a 24v 1.5Amp regulated power supply, and a sensor that I need to power that consumes 6v and 200ma. What I'm trying to do is build a basic circuit that takes my regulated voltage, and drops it to 6v. I'm not sure if passing the voltage thru a resistor will change the fat that the voltage is regulated but not the the current. Also, what If I needed to hook up two of the sensors, will putting them in series after my resistors in the circuit be fine. Cheers for the help if anyone can.
