I'm constantly stunned of how bad the American school system is. How do you not know this? @VD15 already posted the answer. It all depends on whether you tie them together in parallel or serial. In the picture, you see that the batteries are attached in serial, thus increasing voltage. 8*1.5v=12v.

Whatever nation you're from then, has a shit education. This is not something hard to teach or understand, and it's not something you just forget once you understand. Doesn't matter how long ago you last had physics classes. It's been as long since I had them too. And I'm not some physics major either.
@alyx @Jens_Rasmussen @themilkman tbh I didn't understand electricity on an intuitive level until very recently
power is also transferred on both portions of a circuit.
yeah but this is not the mechanism involved in almost all electricity that people experience.

I'll be honest, I don't remember exactly how it was taught to me in school, but I think it was more of a "this electron bumps into and pushes the next electron over, which bumps and pushes the next one, etc".
