An image forming apparatus performs first control, while rotating an image bearing member at a first speed during non-image-formation, to apply a plurality of alternating-current voltages differing in peak-to-peak voltage to a charging device and to detect the value of each alternating current flowing through the image bearing member. When rotating the image bearing member at a second speed during image formation, the image forming apparatus performs second control, while rotating the image bearing member at the second sped before the start of image formation, to apply an alternating-current voltage determined based on the first control to the charging device. In the second control, the image forming apparatus detects the value of the alternating current flowing through the image bearing member, and determines a peak-to-peak voltage of the alternating-current voltage applied to the charging device at the time of image formation based on the detected alternating current value.
