Abstract

A heat generating member includes: a hollow cylindrical part that is rotatable about a rotation axis and extends in an axial direction; a first heat generating component provided on an inner surface of the cylindrical part and configured to generate heat when energized; a first connecting component provided on an inner side relative to the cylindrical part and electrically connected to the first heat generating component, the first connecting component being rotatable together with the cylindrical part; a second connecting component provided on a further inner side relative to the cylindrical part than the first connecting component and electrically connected to a power source, the second connecting component being rotatable relative to the cylindrical part; a rotary supporting component that electrically connects the first connecting component and the second connecting component to each other and supports the first connecting component while allowing the first connecting component to rotate relative to the second connecting component; and a second heat generating component provided on a further inner side relative to the cylindrical part than the second connecting component and extending through the cylindrical part in a longitudinal direction of the cylindrical part, the second heat generating component being configured to generate heat when energized, the second heat generating component having a heat generating area different from a heat generating area of the first heat generating component.
