The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector.
V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.

How to you find a vector parallel to two given vectors?
I think you meant to ask for finding a perpendicular vector, rather than parallel. If that is the case, the cross product of two non-parallel vectors will produce a vector which is perpendicular to both of them, unless they are parallel, which the cross product = 0. (a zero vector)
How would you define the zero vector by using the idea of components?
All components of the zero vector equal to zero.
When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
Can the magnitude of a vector be equal to one of its components?
Yes. A vector in two dimensions is broken into two components, a vector in three dimensions broken into three components, etc... If the value of all but one component of a vector equal zero then the magnitude of the vector is equal to the non-zero component.
If vector c equals vector a plus vector b under what circumstances does c equal a minus b?
When b is zero.

When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?
The zero-vector has no direction.
What is equalibrium in physics?
The sum of all forces is equal to zero when added using the vector method The sum of all torque is equal to zero when added using the vector method
Can the sum of two vector be equal to either of the vector?
Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.
If vector c equals vector a plus vector b under what circumstances does c equal a minus b?
When b is zero.
Will a vector be zero if anyone of its component is zero?
If any component of a vector is not zero, then the vector is not zero.
If two vector have equal magnitudes can their sum be zero Explain?
Sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So no two vector of unequal magnitude cannot be added to give null vector. Three vectors of equal magnitude and making an angle 120 degrees with each other gives a zero resultant.
What is a zero vector?
A zero vector is a vector whose value in every dimension is zero.
What is zero vector?
A zero vector is a vector whose value in every dimension is zero.
