An image forming apparatus in which the flux density of a main magnetic pole for development has an attenuation ratio of 40% or above in the normal direction is disclosed. Assume that a period of time of T1 is necessary for a photoconductive element to move by a single dot at a nip for development. Also, assume that, in a single period of an alternating electric field applied to a developing sleeve as a bias, the duration of an electric field causing toner to move toward the photoconductive element is T2. Further, assume that the duration of an electric field causing the toner to move toward the sleeve is T3. Then, a relation of T1>T2>0 or a relation of T1>T3>0 holds.
