The equation of the circle would be $x^2+y^2=16$

Explanation:

The general equation of a circle is:
$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$
where $a$ is the $x$ coordinate of the center, $b$ is the $y$ coordinate of the center, and $r$ is the radius of the circle.

Applying this to your conditions, we get:
$(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=4^2$

which is

$x^2+y^2=16$
