Abstract
A fixing apparatus comprising a heating roller, a coil provided in the heating roller and configured to generate a high-frequency magnetic field, and capacitors and that constitute a resonant circuit, jointly with the coil. The resonant circuit is excited, sequentially (or alternately) at a plurality of frequencies which are nearly equal to the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit.
