No, a vector cannot have zero magnitude if one of its components is not zero.

Hey dear here is ur answer .....
The magnitude of a vector is computed as the sum of squares of its elements. But a vector can have many different types of elements. Most of the time the elements of a vector are real numbers and in such case we cannot find a group of real numbers such that their sum of squares be zero. However, if those elements are complex numbers, for example, then it is possible that the vector has zero magnitude.
