Of course. If you take the batteries out of a flashlight and put them back in pointing
the other way, the current goes through the bulb in the opposite direction.

It's so easy to reverse the flow of electric current that . . .

-- the current coming out of a household electric socket reverses 120 times every second,

-- the current in the antenna of your FM radio reverses roughly 200 million times every second

-- the current in the antenna of your cellphone reverses almost 2 billion times every second,

-- the current in the magnetron that makes the microwaves that heat your leftover meat loaf
reverses 4.9 billion times every second.
