I a working with circuits, and was wondering whether or not it might be possible to shorten the proces of calculating parallel resistors. My idea is that using some symbol, such as || would find the equivalent resistor.

My idea is based on the fact that CrossProduct can also be done using &x command. Like so.

CrossProduct(a,b) = a &x b

So for resistors it would look something like:

Parallel(a,b) = a || b

For those interested the function for parallel resistors would be:

Parallel := (a,b) -> 1/(1/a+1/b);

Hello, I am working on an elektromagnetism assignment, and have hit a slight problem with the Physics[Vectors] package. The cartesian unit vectors are set to i, j and k. but at my school we have always used x, y and z for both the cartesian unit vectors and the cartesian coordinates. Is there a way to change this so that i am able to use _x, _y and _z istead?

P.S. This is my first post so sorry if it is badly done.
