An example magnetic material supply apparatus includes a reservoir to contain a magnetic material, a connecting member having a first end coupled to the reservoir to receive the magnetic material, and a magnet. A magnetic field produced by the magnet controls supply of the magnetic material through the connecting member.

A developing device includes a developing sleeve configured to carry and convey developer containing non-magnetic toner and magnetic carrier and having a plurality of concave parts on a surface thereof. The concave parts are periodically arranged in each of a rotation direction and a width direction of the developing sleeve, and each have a shape that can house a circular shape having a diameter equal to an average particle diameter of the carrier carried on the developing sleeve, in a planar view. A distance between the concave parts is smaller than the average particle diameter.

There is provided an electrophotographic photosensitive member, a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus in which residual potential is suppressed and a ghost image is prevented from being generated in a low-humidity environment in an undercoat layer of the electrophotographic photosensitive member. An electrophotographic photosensitive member including: an undercoat layer containing a strontium titanate particle having a maximum peak at a position of 2=32.200.20 ( represents a Bragg angle) in a CuK characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern and a half-value width of the maximum peak of 0.10 deg or more and 0.50 deg or less, and a titanium oxide particle; and a photosensitive layer containing a polyvinyl butyral resin, and a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus each provided with the electrophotographic photosensitive member.
