When a circuit consists of a capacitor and a resistor in series with a voltage source, and the voltage across the resistor is zero, then the capacitor is:

                We know that when a capacitor is fully charged, the voltage across the resistance is zero.

                Uncharged capacitor acts as a short to current initially and after fully charged it acts as an open in the circuit.
So no voltage is zero across the series connected resistor because there is no current.

                How ? even fully charged the voltage still prevails. Please explain.

                When fully charged, act as open circuit so for open circuit voltage across resistor will be zero.
