** Connect the final capacitor arrangement series with

primary as shown by the sources, which provide useful

circuit wiring information.

The best way to connect the 8 capacitors depends on the

value of capacitance.

If connected in series overall

capacitance = capacitance of one / 4, but with a very

high rating ie 8 x 10000 = 80,000 Volts.

If all in Parallel total capacitance = 8 x capacitance one, good.

But rating of only 10000V.

From the information provided I suggest a middle option

may be best. That is four groups of two series capacitors,

connected in Parallel. This results double the capacitance of

one, but rated at 20,000Volts, which is usually considered

sufficient. See similar arrangement at source.

Further information to help you understand capacitors.

Your term "volts of capacitance"

might be better referred to " each capacitance charged to 10,000 Volts"

To help avoid nasty shocks , note the 10MΩ resistors.

.

This is because Capacitance is in units of Farads, and can:

I) be charged to a Voltage,

ii) or Quantity of Charge in Coulombs, as Q = I*t or Q = C*V

IIi) store energy CV² /2 Joules.
