<p>A charging apparatus is disclosed which has a charging member provided with a magnetic brush of magnetic particles and an object member to be charged. The charging member is capable of electrostatically charging the object member upon application of a voltage. The magnetic particles are composed of a composite containing 80 to 98% by weight of a metal oxide and a thermosetting resin having been carbonized in part. Magnetic particles having a particle diameter 1/2 time or less the number-average particle diameter of the particles are contained in an amount of 30% by number or less. Also, an electrophotographic apparatus employing the charging member is disclosed. <IMAGE></p> |
