We have solved the time-independent Schrödinger equation to evaluate energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of spherically confined H-atom embedded in nonideal classical plasma (NICP) potential and Debye-Hückel potential (DHP). Screening parameter () and nonideal plasma coupling parameter (
) are calculated for a wide range of plasma electron density (
) and plasma temperature (
), which are further used to evaluate dipole oscillator strengths and static multipole polarizabilities of the H-atom for both the plasma potentials. In comparison to the Debye-Hückel potential, nonideal classical plasma potential significantly affects the multipole polarizabilities at low
and high
. Our results clearly indicate that, as
increases or
decreases, the polarizabilities corresponding to both the plasma potentials become almost equal. We have studied the effect of size of enclosing spherical boundary (
) on the multipole polarizabilities. The size of the spherical boundary strongly controls pressure experienced by the H-atom. At a fixed
, the multipole polarizabilities are found to increase sharply as
approaches its critical value.
