If p is the average dipole moment indeed in each molecule then induced dipole moment per unit volume will be -
p= \mathrm{n \rho }
where n is the number of helium molecules per unit volume and \mathrm{\rho=\alpha \cdot E }
thus,
\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & P=n \alpha E \\ & P=20.6 \times 10^{25} \times 2.33 \times 10^{-41} \times 6 \times 10^5 \\ & P=2.88 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{c} / \mathrm{m}^2 \text { Ans } \end{aligned} }
