ABSTRACT:
A fixing apparatus of one embodiment of the present invention has a heating member which is heated by induction heating, a pressing member which supplies a predetermined pressure to the heating member, and induction heating mechanisms which supply a predetermined magnetic field to the heating member. The induction heating mechanisms have a plurality of coils. By arranging the adjacent coils and adjacent coils to overlap, the temperature distribution in the length direction of the heating member can be made uniform.
