What happens when you increase the number of poles in a generator from 2 to 4?

If the poles are cutting through the magnetic field at 1 Hz, I know adding 2 poles will make the frequency 2 Hz, but does anything else happen? does the voltage output stay he same or would that also increase by a certain value?

hz, magnetic field, voltage output

It changes the frequency..
Definite answer.

You will rip a hole in the space time continuum.

The voltage would double but the total power would be the same (Less Current) But the advantage is smaller wires in your generator.
