A current transformer of ratio 500/5 supplies an ammeter reading 4 A. The primary current is

  • A.500 A
  • B.20 A
  • C.2000 A
  • D.400 A

Answer: D

Correct answer: 400 A

The ratio is \( 500/5 = 100 \), so \[ 4 \times 100 = 400\ \mathrm{A}. \] The secondary reading is multiplied by the ratio, never by the primary rating alone - reading 500 A off a full-scale assumption is the usual error, and the 20 A offered comes from dividing instead of multiplying.
