That depends on the type of circuit you are talking about. Sometimes both an inductor and capacitor are both in parallel with each other. This is called a tank circuit. Sometimes they are both used in series. These are both examples of resonant circuits.
Sometimes the inductor can be in parallel with an applied voltage and the capacitor in series. This is a form of high pass filter. On the other hand, the inductor can be in series and the capacitor in parallel to for a low pass filter.

Do capacitors have internal resistance?
1. The capacitor has Lead resistance in series with the capacitor2. Since most capacitor use Dielectric and they have a leakage resistance and it is parallel to the Ideal Capacitor.
Why don't us use inductor and capacitor in attenuator design?
Unwanted phase shift, probably.
What are some examples of the way you use resistance?
Parallel, series, and series parallel
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.
Where a colpitts oscillator is used?
the Colpitts oscillator , named after the inventor of the circuit , is characterised by the use of Two Capacitors in series which are then connected in parallel across the inductor of the resonant circuit for obtaining the required frequency. The junction of the two capacitors is used for the positive feedback used for generating the oscillations. This circuit is used for High frequency oscillators , mainly due to ease of obtaining required ratio of the two capacitor values as per the circuit design. Also the two capacitors in series reduces their total equivalent value , which is not a problem as in HF circuits as the values and size is comparatively low. For information , a corresponding Low frequency circuit is called a Hartley oscillator , also named after its inventor. This uses a tapped inductor & one capacitor for the resonant circuit, since it is more easier to fabricate large value tapped inductors , than to use two bulky ( since the value of capacitors in series is reduced ) capacitors necessary for the equivalent Colpitts oscillator.

How can convert pulse setting DC to continus DC?
We can use an inductor in series with the circuit to minimize pulses or ripples in the D.C. The inductor provide zero impedance for a D.C source, but provide high impedance for a pulsated wave, so it will not allow pulses to pass through it. A high inductance in the circuit provides smooth D.C. On the other hand we can have a capacitor in parallel to the output.

Unwanted phase shift, probably.
Could anybody please explain how exactly high pass and low pass filters work?
Filters are composed of capacitors and inductors. These component "react" differently to different frequencies. If you modulated the voltage frequency to a series capacitor, it would start out looking like a very big resistance, which would become incrementally smaller as the frequency is increased. Inductors act in the exact opposite fashion. A simple lowpass filter is compossed of a resistance and capacitor in series, with the output across the capacitor. Using a voltage divider: Voutput = Vinput * (resistance of cap) / (resistance of cap + R) A simple highpass filter is composed the same, with the output across the resistor. This type of filter is a first order filter, because there is one inductor or capacitor. Adding more of these elements will cause rippling in the frequency response, and can cause the rolloff / decay to occur faster. Putting two capacitors in series or parallel "looks" like one element, so for a second order filter you must use a cap and an inductor. For a third order, you must use two of one and one of the other "in between" them - for example have the input to a capacitor, where the other side is tied to the inductor and other capacitor; the inductor's other terminal is connected to ground, and the output is from the other capacitors second terminal.
Can the capacitor be inserted in series in order to improve the power factor?
In a circut we use capacitor in series for improving power factor
Why you use capacitors in power supply?
You use a capacitor to store electrostatic energy. You use an inductor to store electromagnetic energy. You use a resistor to dissipate electrical energy.
What are some examples of the way you use resistance?
Parallel, series, and series parallel

Why you use parallel resonance circuit instead of series resonance circuit in tuned voltage amplifier?
At resonance...a parallel tank circuit matches the applied sine voltage so close that there is almost 0 current flow from the source...i.e., max impedance at resonance...the capacitor and inductor are swapping energy with each other in tune with the source... visualize it...in order to have 0 current flow for an incoming varying voltage...that would mean that the tank voltage would be varying exactly at the same frequency and voltage! Thus...you have effectively "tuned" into a voltage which would be critical in 'tuned' voltage amplifier... A series resonant circuit does not tune into a voltage...in fact at resonance the voltage across the inductor capacitor will be 0!...a short or minimum impedance condition Of course my discussion assumed ideal components...in the real world there will be 'stray' resistances which will alter the results in magnitude to the size of the resistance... Hope this helps
