PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charger, assembly, and image forming apparatus in which a cleaning member for the charger has improved cleaning performance to extend the life of the charger.SOLUTION: A radius R of a charger 20 is made smaller than a radius r of a cleaning member 64 to increase a peripheral speed of the charger 20 that is rotated by the rotation of an image carrier 18, compared to the case where the radius R of the charger 20 is made equal to or larger than the radius r of the cleaning member 64. The peripheral speed of the charger 20 is increased at a position at which a foamed body 72 and an outer peripheral surface of the charger 20 are in contact with each other, and thereby the cleaning member 64 that is rotated by the rotation of the charger 20 is made easy to slide against the charger 20. When the cleaning member 64 is made easy to slide against the charger 20, the cleaning member 64 scrapes the outer peripheral surface of the charger 20, which improves cleaning performance. |
