A resistor and a capacitor are connected in parallel across a 120 v dc source determine the voltages across the resistor and the capacitor?

Since they're connected in parallel directly across the source, the voltages across both components
are equal, and are equal to the source, i.e. 120 v DC.

Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
What is the time constant of a 0.001 microfarad capacitor and a 15000 ohm resistor connected in series in a dc circuit?
The same as the time constant of a 2.7 microfarad capacitor and a 33 ohm resistor connected in series.
What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?
Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.
What method improve power factor?
The most common method of improving the power factor of a load is to connected a capacitor or capacitor bank, of appropriate reactive power (expressed in reactive volt amperes), in parallel with the load.
How should voltmeter be connected to measure the potential difference across a resistor - in series or in parallel?
In parallel.

Can a transistor can act like resistor capacitor inductor?
A transistor acts like a resistor when Gate is connected to Source.

What Capacitor means transferring electrons from one plate of capacitor to the other?
That would be done by a resistor connected between the two plates.
What happen if 4 resistor is connected in parallel and resistor 1 is connected as short circuit?
I'd have to see a diagram, as your description in words is unclear.

In parallel.
If a 15-ohm resistor is connected in parallel with a 30 ohm-resistor the equivalent resistance is?
Rt = 10
When 2 resistors are connected in parallel r1r2 are?
Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
