if the circles cut orthogonally then
(distance between centres)^2 = (radius1)^2 + (radius2)^2  ------------------1  (from pythagoras theorem see figure)
now let the centre be (m,n)
therefore from 1
m^2 + n^2 = k^2 + (p - m)^2 + (q - n)^2
therefore 2pm + 2qn -(k^2 + p^2 + q^2) = 0
hence locus is 2px + 2 qy - ( p2 + q2 + k2) = 0 = a)
