The resistor and capacitor helps you to adjust the time period (or frequency) of the timer.

(Usually astable multivibrator is used as a timer in electronic circuits)

More the resistance, less is the current flowing through it. If the current flowing through is it to charge the capacitor is less, then the capacitor charges slowly. The timer changes it's state when the capacitor charges to a specific voltage ( Usually 1/3Vcc or 2/3Vcc). As it is made to charge slowly due to the high resistance, the clock frequency decreases.

In the same way, to increase the frequency of the timer, the resistance value needs to be reduced.

Why is a timer is used in an electrical circuit?

Timer relays are used in control circuitry. There are two main types, an (off delay) and an (on delay). If you want one device to turn off before the timer controlled device then you would use an off delay timer. If you want one device to turn on before the timer controlled device then you would use an on delay timer. When the timer is energized this starts the timer circuit in the relay to time out.

What would happened if you wired a 240v ballast and a 120 v ballast into a heavy duty timer?

The timer has to be multi-pole. The ballast must be connected to the load contacts of the timer. If the timer is a 120 Volt timer, the timer has to run on a 120V. circuit. Loads are loads, and as long as you have a multi-load timer you can hook up whatever you want. If the timer only works on a shared power source (load shares the timer supply) you will need to use a contactor on the load side or the timer.
