 Q: Derive the relative permittivity for ideal
case.2/2
(2)

where N is the number of molecules per unit volume

From equation (1) and (2)

Que: Derive the relative permittivity for real case.
Or, Derive the Clausius-Mossotti equation which shows the relation between
dielectric constant and electronic polarizability. What is the significance of
this equation?

It considers local field in dipoles,
