An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; charging means for charging the image bearing member, the charging means including magnetic field generating means and magnetic particles contactable to the image bearing member at a charging position; developing means for developing with toner a electrostatic image formed on the image bearing member using the charging means; transferring means for transferring a toner image from the image bearing member onto a recording material; wherein the developing means is capable of collecting residual toner from the image bearing member; wherein magnetic confining force acting on the magnetic particle is larger than a magnetic confining force acting on the carrier under a magnetic field formed by the magnetic field generating means at the charging position.
