An image forming apparatus includes a fusing unit configured to fuse an image formed on a recording medium to a recording medium, at a fusing position where a heater and a rotator nip the recording medium therebetween, and a current-feed controller configured to execute a first current-feed mode of changing a current-feed ratio of current-feed time from an AC power source to the heater to unit time by controlling switching of a switching circuit so that a temperature detected by a temperature detector falls within a target range. The current-feed controller executes a second current-feed mode of fixing the current-feed ratio to almost 100% or almost 0% in place of the first current-feed mode based on a timing when a position detector detects that an end of the recording medium in a conveying direction is located at the fusing position.
