Because most of the heat buildup occurs in the reverse biased collector-base junction where Ic = Ie + Ib flows.

The emitter, the base, and the collector are parts of a transistor.
N-p-n transistor is made by sandwiching thin layer of p-type semiconductor between two layers of n-type semiconductor. It has three terminals, Emitter, Base and collector. The npn transistor has two supplies, one is connected through the emitter base and one through the collector base. The supply is connected such that emitter-base are forward biased and collector base are reverse biased. It means , Base has to be more positive than the emitter and in turn, the collector must be more positive than the base. The current flow in this type of transistor is carried through movement of electrons. Emitter emits electrons which are pulled my the base as it is more positive. these end up in the collector as it is yet more positive. In this way, current flows in the transistor. Transistor can be used as an amplifier, a switch etc.
# parameter are usually the base current ib,collector current ic,emitter current ie,collector emitter voltagevce,base emitter voltagevbe,collector base voltagevcb which decide the operation &output of the transistor
Base of transistor is made thin just to get Collector current equal to Emitter current.
A Darlington pair uses two transistors connected to behave as a single transistor with a very high current gain (beta). Transistor-1 has its collector connected to the collector of transistor-2. Transistor-1 has its emitter connected to the base of transistor-2. The base of transistor-1 with the emitter and collector of transistor-2 is used as a single transistor.

RTL logic: NPN transistor. Emitter grounded. Input connected to base through a resistor. Vcc also connected to base through a resistor. If the input is high or open, the transistor is on. If the input is low, the transistor is off. Connect a resistor from Vcc to the collector. The collector is the ouput. You have to play around with resistor values to setup your fan-in and fan-out properties.

To reverse bias a base-collector junction in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), you need to apply a positive voltage to the collector relative to the base for an NPN transistor (or a negative voltage for a PNP transistor). This involves connecting the collector terminal to a higher potential and ensuring the base terminal is at a lower potential. As a result, the depletion region at the base-collector junction widens, preventing current flow between the collector and base. This condition is essential for transistor operation in certain configurations, such as in cutoff mode.

No. A diode is not like a transistor, and a transistor is not like (two) diode(s). Taken in isolation, the emitter-base and collector-base junctions of a transistor appear to be diodes, but they are coupled together so that the base-emitter current affects the collector-emitter current.
In the cut-off region of a transistor, the base-emitter junction is not forward-biased, meaning the transistor is effectively turned off. As a result, no current flows from collector to emitter, and the voltage across the collector to emitter (V_CE) is approximately equal to the supply voltage (V_CC) connected to the collector. Therefore, V_CE is at its maximum value, close to V_CC, indicating that the transistor is not conducting.
