The collector
current is
determined by
multiplying the
base current by
beta.
Collector characteristic
curves gives a graphical
illustration of the
relationship of collector
current and VCE with
specified amounts of
base current. With greater
increases of VCC , VCE
continues to increase
until it reaches
breakdown, but the
current remains about the
same in the linear region
from .7V to the
breakdown voltage.

Transistor Characteristics and Parameters-
Cutof
With no IB the transistor is in the cutoff region and just as the
name implies there is practically no current flow in the collector
part of the circuit. With the transistor in a cutoff state the the full
VCC can be measured across the collector and emitter(VCE)
VCE(cutoff) = VCC
