In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω
The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω
About 2 to 5 centimeters per year (1 to 2 inches per year), about the same speed that your fingernails grow. Therefore, the statement is false
