Magnetic fields surrounding black holes are responsible for various astrophysical phenomena related to accretion processes and relativistic jets. Depending on the source, the configuration of the field lines may differ significantly, affecting the trajectories of charged particles and the corresponding observables. Usually, the magnetic fields around black holes are modeled within a single source or current generating the field. However, magnetic fields can have more than a single origin, being a combination of different fields, such as, e.g., that of an accretion disk and external large-scale or Galactic ones. In this paper, we propose a combined magnetic field solution given by the superposition of the uniform and Blandford-Znajek split-monopole magnetic fields in a strong gravity regime of the Schwarzschild black hole. We show that when the combined magnetic field components are aligned, the resulting field is of a paraboloidal jetlike shape. Such a configuration is supported by relativistic jet observations and is often utilized in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations. In the opposite orientation of the two field components, we observe looplike field structures magnetically connecting the black hole with an accretion disk and the magnetic null points, which can be related to the regions of magnetic reconnection. In the combined magnetic field configurations, we analyze the dynamics of charged particles, study their stability conditions, and find the locations of stable off-equatorial structures close to the symmetry axis. Finally, we consider an ionization of Keplerian accretion disk as a particular scenario of particle scattering. From the numerical experiments, we conclude that charged particles in the jetlike combination show a strong tendency to escape from the black hole, which is not observed in the case of individual fields. In contrast, the looplike combination supports accretion of charged particles into the black hole.
