The effect of acceleration predominance for plasma electrons in a strongly curved tail-like magnetic field near the lower edge of the domain of dynamical chaos is studied. The acceleration is due to stochastic pitch-angle particle scattering resulting in their mean (on the average of bounce period) displacement in the planet-ward direction and due to the action of the electrostatic component of quasi-neutral sheet tearing perturbation. The role of the electromagnetic tearing component is studied. The possibility of restoring the tearing instability and the formation of field-aligned hot plasma flows due to the effect is demonstrated. Its validity for different magnetospheres is discussed.
