Blackie · Answer 1

the electric field inside the conductors is zero because there is no free charge inside the conductor, the electric field in the system is caused by the distribution of charges on the surface of the conductors.

Explanation:

as the good conductors has uniform distribution of charges on their surfaces and the charges are of same nature so they cancel the net effect of the field making the electric field zero.
