...$\nabla {\vec B} \ne 0$[*]
As a matter of fact, if ${\vec B}$ and/or $\nabla {\vec B}$ are zero, then S2 = 0 (S2 is defined after Eq. (44)). Once S2 is zero, it is impossible to solve Eq. (45) in the way shown in Eq. (46). This is why S2 should be non-zero. Hence, if there is no magnetic field, ${\vec B}= 0$, these formulas are not applicable.
