Where is the electron in this picture.

The path of an electron in a magnetron is shown along with the electric field, see below. Assume the electric field shown is maximum at time t. Without calculation can you argue and approximate where along the electron path is the most likely positions of the electron at time t?

Picture in, An Introduction to Microwaves, page 54, F. A. Wilson.

Thanks for any help!
