In a grounded-emitter transistor, when emitter current becomes zero in cut-of region the emitter potential is called Correct Answer Floating Emitter Potential

In common emitter configuration, the emitter terminal is grounded so the common emitter configuration is also known as grounded emitter configuration.

As the emitter current is zero in the cut-off region, the potential VE is called as floating emitter potential.
