Answer

$y^{2}+z^{2}=1$ a circle of radius 1, centered at the origin, in the yz-plane.

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=1$ is a sphere centered at the origin, radius 1. $x=0$ is the yz-plane. The equation of their intersection is obtained by substituting $x=0$ into the equation of the sphere: $y^{2}+z^{2}=1$ a circle of radius 1, centered at the origin, in the yz-plane.
