The formula for the total resistance, R, in a parallel circuit is (1)/(R) = (1)/({R_1)}+(1)/({R_2)}

Question: The formula for the total resistance, R, in a parallel circuit is

\[\frac{1}{R}\] = \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}}\]

Where R₁ is the resistance of the first resistor and R₂ is the resistance of the second resistor in ohms. If R₁ is 5 ohms, and R₂ is 10 ohms, what is the total resistance, R, of the parallel circuit?
