Question

The dimensions of an atom of the order of an angstrom. Thus there must be large electric fields between the protons and electron . Why then is the electrostatic field inside a conductor zero?

Answer 1

Hey dear ,
here is your answer,
_____________

Since the net charge of a neutral atom is zero, there is no net electric Flux coming out of the atom. Hence, no electric field outside a neutral atom. This is why a conductor has no electric field of its own inside or outside due to its own atoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

mark me as brainliest and support me to give more valuble answers

Explanation:

Electrostatic field inside a conductor should be zero because of the absence of charge. As in a static condition, charge remains only on the surface.
