How many poles should the alternators, driven by the steam and gas turbines prime movers must have, for better operation?

In a DC machine, the pole core is usually of smaller cross section than the pole shoe because ___________
(i) smaller cross section requires less copper
(ii) larger pole shoe increases the air gap reluctance
(iii) larger pole shoe increases the flux per pole entering the armature
(iv) larger pole shoe reduces the mechanical strength
(v) larger pole shoe supports the field winding
