The field reverses its poles, meaning that the flow of negative and positive charges will cause an overall switch in the magnetic poles of the field.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced near the conductor.

When the direction of current is reversed the direction of magnetic field is also reversed.
