@tf08js2 An easy concept to remember is that if there was a non-zero electric field in any conductor, the charge in the conductor will move due to that field (remember, non-zero electric field implies non-zero force on a charge). So, in equilibrium, when "everything is settled", there is no movement of charge, and thus, the electric field is zero. This applies to all conductors, however complicated their shapes might be.
