Erratum: Strong constraints on magnetized white dwarfs surpassing the Chandrasekhar mass limit [Phys. Rev. D 89, 103017 (2014)]

We correct certain numerical estimates made in our paper. This correction, however, does not alter the conclusion that when Lorentz forces are taken into account, the supermassive white dwarf models, obtained simply by modifying the equation of state in presence of a superstrong magnetic field in the center, fail to be in equilibrium.
