This is a very, very, ideal problem.
Nothing will happen unless the electron strays from its course perfectly down the B lines :) (unstable equilibrium)

Hi Damon,
I was first thinking like that and I check on d) but it shows wrong. Now I have only one attempt. Do you think there might be other solution possible? I would be very greatful.
