Electrostatic charge image developing carrier, electrostatic charge image developer, process cartridge, image forming apparatus and image forming method

Abstract

An electrostatic charge image developing carrier includes a magnetic particle and a coating resin layer that covers the magnetic particle and contains an inorganic particle, and the following relation 1 is satisfied: 0<(C−A)/(B−A)≤0.40 (relation 1), in which A is a Net intensity of Si determined by an X-ray fluorescence analysis of a carrier A that is a carrier taken out from a developer A obtained by mixing a carrier and a toner with a silica particle externally added, B is a Net intensity of Si determined by the X-ray fluorescence analysis of a carrier B that is a carrier taken out from a developer B obtained by adding a silica particle to the developer A to obtain a mixture and stirring the mixture with a Turbula stirring apparatus for 20 minutes, and C is a Net intensity of Si determined by the X-ray fluorescence analysis of a carrier C that is a carrier taken out from a mixture C obtained by stirring a toner particle and the carrier B being the carrier taken out from the developer B for 2 minutes with the Turbula stirring apparatus.
