Do you know what's this unit called? it may help figure out how to do it.
Explanation:
Formula for angle subtended at the center of the circular arc is as follows.

where, S = length of the rod
r = radius
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

= 
= 
= 
Now, we will calculate the charge density as follows.

= 
= 
Now, at the center of arc we will calculate the electric field as follows.
E = 
= 
= 34.08 N/C
Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the electric eld at the center of curvature of the arc is 34.08 N/C.
It could be radiation because radiation means <span>the emission of energy as electromagnetic wave, but potential fits it best</span>
It would be negative regardless of what you define as a positive direction.
