A magnetic carrier having magnetic carrier particles each containing at least a magnetic core particle and a resin; the magnetic carrier having a resistivity of from 1.0×10 6 Ω·cm or more to 1.0×10 10 Ω·cm or less at an electric-field intensity of 1.0×10 3 V/cm as found by measuring dynamic impedance; electric-field intensity E(10 9 ) at which the resistivity of the magnetic carrier comes to 1.0×10 9 Ω·cm being 2.0×10 4 V/cm or less, and electric-field intensity E(10 8 ) at which the resistivity of the magnetic carrier comes to 1.0×10 8 Ω·cm being from 5.0×10 3 V/cm or more to 2.8×10 4 V/cm or less; and the electric-field intensity E(10 8 ) and the electric-field intensity E(10 9 ) being in a ratio, E(10 8 )/E(10 9 ), of from 1.0 or more to 5.0 or less. |
