when the velocity is zero, it will have only electric force.

Fe=eE=ma0

E=ma0e

Acceleration is towards west, so electric field is towards west.

When velocity is not zero, the magnetic force may act on the electron. 

Here, increases acceleration is due to magnetic force.

Fm=m(3a0-a0)=2ma0=e(v×B)

As velocity is in north direction and acceleration is in west direction, the magnetic field will be in vertically downward direction.

2ma0=ev0B

B=2ma0ev0
