Abstract

A carrier for use in electrophotography has carrier particles. The carrier particles each comprise a carrier core particle and a resin for coating the carrier core particle and having a resistivity of 10.sup.10 .OMEGA..multidot.cm or above under conditions of a temperature of 23.degree. C. and a humidity of 50% RH. The carrier particles have an average particle diameter of not larger than 100 .mu.m and a resistivity of 10.sup.10 .OMEGA..multidot.cm or above. The carrier particles comprise not less than 80% by number of resin-coated carrier particles whose carrier core particles are each coated with a resin in a coverage of not less than 90%.
