A charging device for an electrophotographic apparatus wherein at least a first portion of a control plate is movable relative to a corona generating device. A support member having a photoconductive insulating layer is maintained in spaced relationship relative to the corona generating device. A suitable mechanism is operably associated with the control plate for varying the position of at least the first portion of the control plate relative to the corona generating device to thereby adjust the strength of the corona discharge from the portion of the corona generating device generally adjacent the first portion of the control plate.
