The base is still
forward biased, so base
current flows.
The base current will be
higher than normal,
because all the emitter
current goes to the base
and none to the
collector.
Since there is more
current through R1,
there will be a higher
voltage drop across it,
and the base voltage
will be lower.
Since the emitter
voltage is always about
0.6 volts lower than the
base, it will read 0.1
volts.
We would expect the
collector voltage to
read zero, but we are
actually reading the
base voltage via the
base/collector junction
and it will read about
0.6 volts lower than the
base.
