Circle in Two Variables Class 10 Notes- Topic 1:

Definition of a Circle

A circle is the locus of a point in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point in the plane is constant. The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the constant distance is called the radius

Equation of a Circle with Centre (h, k) and Radius-

1644387517011

  1. Some results regarding circle

Position of a point with respect to a circle. Point P (x1, y1) lies outside, on, or inside a circle.

1644387515932

Here, r is the radius of the circle.

The point P is inside the circle when the distance is less than the radius. Then it is negative.

The point is outside the circle when the distance is greater than the radius. Then it is positive.

The point P is on the circle when distance and radius are equal. Then it is zero.

  1. Equation of the tangent to the circle from a point P (x1, y1)

Equation of the Tangent:

Equation of tangent to the circle x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 from a point P (x1, y1)

xx1+yy1+g(x+x1)+f(y+y1)+c=0

It is the equation of the tangent.

  1. An equation of the Normal to the circle x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 from a point P (x1, y1)

Equation of Normal:

x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0

(y-y1)/(y1+f)=(x-x1)/(x1+g)

It is the equation of normal.

Equation of a Common Chord of the Two Circles-

S1=x2+y2+2g1x+2f1y+c1=0

S2=x2+y2+2g2x+2f2y+c2=0

S1-S2=0

If two circles with centres C1 and C2 and radii r and r’ respectively, then we have the following results regarding their common tangents.

(x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2

(x-h')2+(y-k')2=r'2

Case 1. When C1 C2 > r+r’ i.e., the distance between the centers is greater than the sum of their radii, the two circles do not intersect with each other and 4 common tangents can be drawn to two circles.

Here C1and C2 are the centres of two circles.

In this case, two circles either touch each other externally or internally.

1644387516541

Case 2. When C1 C2 = r+r’ i.e., the distance between the centers is equal to the sum of the radii, the two circles touch each other externally, two direct common tangents are real and distinct and the transverse common tangents coincide.


1644387515605

Case 3. When C1 C2 < r+r’ i.e the distance between the centres is less than the sum of the radii, the circles intersect at two real and distinct points, the two direct common tangents are real and distinct while the transverse common tangents are imaginary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Prove the tangents drawn at ends of a diameter of circle are parallel to each other.

Let there be a circle with a centre at O and diameter AB. At A, CD is the tangent to the circle and at B, EF is 


the tangent to the circle. We shall prove that CD  EF. Now, OA ⟂ CD and OB ⟂ EF [radius of the circle is 


perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact] Hence, between CD and EF, the alternate interior 


angles are equal (is of 90o). ⇒ CD  EF [if the alternate angles are equal then lines are parallel].
