ABSTRACT:
In electrophotographic image forming, there are provided a charging device and an image forming apparatus provided with the charging device for forming an image including no or less image noise by sufficiently suppressing generation of image memory due to untransferred residual developer. The charging device has, for example, a charging brush formed of a roller and a strip-like fiber member having a plurality of piles wound therearound. The brush satisfies a condition of 0.7s<d<1.5s where d(mm) is a wound margin of the strip-like fiber member, and s(mm) is an average distance between the piles in a width direction of the fiber strip member.
