As there no electic field inside conductor so no charge would be inside the conductor.

When we apply an electric field on a conductor, an electric field is induced inside the conductor for a small time . As we know free electrons are present inside conductor. So the induced electric field moves the free electrons to the side of conductor increasing electron density on one side of conductor. As a result an opposite charge is developed on other side of conducter. Asa a result an electric field opposite to the direction of applied field is generated , so both cancel out each other.and electric field inside the conducter is zero .
