In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potential can be joined by a circle \(S.\) The points inside \(S\) have positive potential, and points outside \(S\) have a negative potential. A positive charge, which is free to move, is placed inside \(S.\) What is the correct statement about \(S\):
