Finding radius and center of circle with given two points

Is it possible to find the radius and center of circle if I have two points on the circle?

enter image description here

Actually I want to place circles in positions as in pic. I just have the rectangle which is going to contain the circles. I want that these circles to be placed starting from left-center of rect to right-center in a circular manner. If need more explanation, kindly let me know...

No. It takes three points to define a circle. Given any two points, there are infinitely many circles that pass through those two points.

For example:
