Summary
A transistor in cutoff mode is off, with no collector current and therefore no emitter current, almost looking like an open circuit. To get a transistor into cutoff mode, the base voltage must be less than both the emitter and collector voltages, as stated in.

This means that no current will flow from the emitter to the collector when no current is present.

The collector voltage, ( Vc) must be greater and positive with respect to the emitter voltage, ( Ve) to allow current to flow through the transistor between the collector-emitter junctions.…

If the collector and emitter are connected to a battery, the electrical charges at the P-N junctions form an electrical barrier and no current flows between the emitter and the…

The collector – emitter current can be viewed as being controlled by the base– emitter current ( current control), or by the base– emitter voltage (voltage control). These views are related by the current –voltage relation…
