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

An infinitely long solid cylinder of radius $R$ has a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. It has a spherical cavity of radius $R / 2$ with its centre on the axis of the cylinder, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field at the point $P$, which is at a distance $2 \ R$ from the axis of the cylinder, is given by the expression $\frac{23 \rho R }{16 k \varepsilon_0}$. The value of $k$ is
