Answer #1

when a conductor is placed between the parallel plates of capacitor there induces Charge on surface of conductor. Negative charges induces on the surface near the positive plate of capacitor where as positive charge induces on surface near to negative plate of capacitor. The induced charge in conductor create electric field which cancel out the electric field due to capacitor and so net electric field in the region of conductor is zero.
