So the dipole moments of the atoms point in the same direction as the

Michael,
There is a crucial difference between the fields of an Electric
dipole and a Magnetic dipole (We speak here of two separated +/- charges
vs. separated N/P magnetic poles, apropos of your model). The "interior"
field of the electric dipole is antiparallel to the dipole moment vector;
the "interior" field of the magnetic dipole is paralell to the dipole
moment vector.
