A charging apparatus is disclosed which has an object member and a charging member. The charging member has magnetic particles, provided in contact with the object member and capable of electrostatically charging the object member upon application of a voltage. The surfaces of the magnetic particles are formed of a composite which includes conductive particles and a binder resin, and the conductive particles are in a proportion of from 80% by weight to 99% by weight in total weight based on the weight of the composite. The conductive particles have a size distribution having at least two peaks or shoulders. Also, an electrophotographic apparatus having the charging member is disclosed.
