Answer: B
Share your understanding of this question with the correct explanation.
The answer is B. 4.
The pole pitch is the distance between the centers of two adjacent poles. In a 4-pole generator with 16 coils, there are 8 coils per pole. With a two-layer lap winding, each coil spans two poles. Therefore, the pole pitch is:
pole pitch = number of coils per pole / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4
