A fixing apparatus of one embodiment of the present invention has a
heating member which is heated by induction heating, a pressing member
which supplies a predetermined pressure to the heating member, and
induction heating mechanisms which supply a predetermined magnetic field
to the heating member. The induction heating mechanisms have a plurality
of coils. By arranging the adjacent coils and adjacent coils to overlap,
the temperature distribution in the length direction of the heating
member can be made uniform.
