A capacitor does not increase amps; instead, it stores and releases electrical energy. In an AC circuit, capacitors can influence the current flow by affecting the phase relationship between voltage and current, which can lead to higher apparent current (amps) in certain conditions. However, they do not increase the actual current supplied by a power source. The overall current still depends on the power supply and the load connected to the circuit.
