A fixing device has: (a) an electromagnetic coil placed with a gap from a member of a magnetic material to be heated; a switching device that supplies electronic power to the electromagnetic coil; (b) a switching control unit that controls duty ratio for the switching device under a condition that a load voltage and a load current of the switching device are substantially zero when the switching device is turned on and/or off; (c) a shield member capable of being placed between the electromagnetic coil and the member to be heated to shield the member to be heated against a magnetic flux from the electromagnetic coil; and (d) a shield control unit that controls a shield amount of the shield member by moving either the shield member or both the electromagnetic coil and the member to be heated.
