If the straight line $x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = P$ intersects the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$ at $A$ and $B$,then the equation of the circle with diameter $\overline{AB}$ is

  • A
    $x^2 + y^2 - 2Px \cos \alpha - 2Py \sin \alpha + 2P^2 - a^2 = 0$
  • B
    $x^2 + y^2 + 2Px \cos \alpha - 2Py \sin \alpha + 2P^2 + a^2 = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 + y^2 - 2Px \cos \alpha + 2Py \sin \alpha - 2P^2 - a^2 = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 + y^2 - 2Px \cos \alpha - 2Py \sin \alpha - 2P^2 + a^2 = 0$
