Abstract: In this note we study sets of normal generators of finitely presented residually $p$-finite groups. We show that if an infinite, finitely presented, residually $p$-finite group $G$ is normally generated by $g_1,dots,g_k$ with order $n_1,dots,n_{k}in1,2,dotscupinfty$, then ${\displaystyle }$�eta_1^{(2)}(G) leq k-1-sum_{i=1}^{k} frac1{n_i},${\displaystyle }$ where $$ denotes the first $el{l}^2$-Betti number of $G$. We also show that any $k$-generated group with $$ must have girth greater than or equal $1/varepsilon$.
