Answer

The electron spends less time in the $B_1$ region.

Work Step by Step

The speed of the electron is constant during the entire path. The distance the electron travels in the $B_1$ region is less than the distance the electron travels in the $B_2$ region. Therefore, the electron spends less time in the $B_1$ region.
