Fix scaling in Kerr-Newman electrodynamics part

See original GitHub issue

🐞 Problem Currently, for correct calculation of trajectory in Kerr-Newman space-time, q(charge on test particle) or Q(charge on massive body) needs to be multiplied by 11604461683.91822052001953125 for correct calculation. It is not known from where this factor arises.

I guessed geometric units were the reason, still needed to clarify. The presence of the rogue factor 1e-7 is duly noted.

~Using Charge per unit Mass (q) here, instead of charge, Q, is probably where the factor comes from. Although, this should be moot now, after #512 . Tests are needed regardless.~ There seems to be an implementation issue in the geodesic equations for KerrNewman, We need to check the equations once, before proceeding. I am skipping this test for now in #512.
