Inside a charged conductor electrostatic field is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

Under electrostatic conditions:
- Any excess charge resides on the surface of the conductor.
- If an internal field existed, free charges would move until they cancelled it.
- Thus, the **Electric Field inside a conductor is zero**. 
- This principle is used for 'Electrostatic Shielding' (Faraday Cage).
