Is there an electric field inside a conductor when steady current passes through it ?
I have two conflicting notions here : I was watching this Electroboom video and at minute $14:00$ electroboom starts explaining about the surface charges and movement of charges. There is no form of opposing electric field to cancel out our own electric field , hence I decided that it should not be $0$ because its the driving factor of movement of electrons.
Second is this stack exchange answer: Which clearly suggests that there is no electric field in an ideal conductor , since there is no need of electric field to drive the current (only accelerate it ).
Both of these are equally contradicting in my opinion and hence I have two questions :
1)If the electric field really cancels out in the ideal steady current case , then how does the new electrons from the negative terminal get accelerated to receive a direction to flow , after the field and current are set up it hints that the electrons must somehow accelerate without a net force (electric field).
2)If answer two is correct then what might be the opposition factor in the electroboom video
