There is provided a process cartridge detachably attachable to a main body of an electrophotographic apparatus, the process cartridge including: an electrophotographic photosensitive member and a charging member, in which when average local potential differences of calculated lengths in the electrophotographic photosensitive member is calculated based on a specific method, a maximum value of the average local potential difference is 2 V or more, the charging member includes a support and an electro-conductive layer, the electro-conductive layer has a matrix and domains dispersed in the matrix, a volume resistivity ρM of the matrix is at least 1.00×10 5 times a volume resistivity ρD of the domain, and a specific calculated length S CP [μm] and a specific value relating a distance between the domains D ms [μm] satisfy S CP ≥3×D ms . |
