circle and the point is known as the pole of the line w.rt the given circle.
Let S=0 bea given circle and P be a given point. Let a secant line drawn through P intersects the

satisfy real or imaginary points on a straight line L=0. This straight line L=0 is called the polar of
P wart the circle S=0 and the point P is called the pole of the line L=0 w:rt the circle S=0.

RELATIVE POSITIONS OF TWO CIRCLES
(Common tangents & centres of similitudes)
There are six relative positions between any two citcles in a plane.

The above wonderful diagram resembles the pattern of forming
Solar Eclipse with Sun as Big Circle and Moon as Small Circle.
The relative positions of two circles depend on the comparative values of CC and r},r, where
Cj,C; are the centres and r,t» are the radii of the two circles.
Ifthe two circles lie on the same side of a common tangent then that tangent is said to be a direct
‘common tangent and if the circles lie on the opposite sides of a common tangent then it is said
to be a transverse common tangent.
Depending upon the relative positions of two circles, atmost two direct common tangents or two
transverse common tangents can be drawn between two circles.
The point of intersection of two transverse common tangents, if exists, is called the
internal centre of similitude(I) of the two circles and I divides CC, in the ratio r,: r, internally.
The point of intersection of two direct common tangents, “if exists, is called the
external centre of similitude(E) of the two circles and E divides CC, in the ratio r,:r5 externally.
‘The relative positions of two circles, the number of common tangents and centres of similitudes:
If C,C, > ry+r, then
i) one circle lies completely outside the other circle
ii) two transverse common tangents and two direct common tangents exist.
iii) the internal centre of similitude I divides C|C, in the ratio r) :r) internally and
the external centre of similitude E divides CjC, in the ratio r:r externally.
