Abstract: An image forming apparatus including: a main body housing; a drawer; a developing cartridge detachably supported by the drawer; a toner container configured to be mounted to and demounted from the main body housing; and a supply tube being movable between a connection position at which the supply tube is connected to the developing cartridge and is capable of supplying toner from the toner container to the developing cartridge supported by the drawer and a non-connection position at which the supply tube is not connected to the developing cartridge, wherein in a case where the drawer is moved from an inner position to an outer position in a state where the developing cartridge is supported by the drawer, the supply tube comes into contact with a part of the developing cartridge and is thus moved from the connection position to the non-connection position.

Abstract: A developing cartridge includes a developing electrode and a supply electrode. The developing electrode includes a first electrical contact in contact with a developing roller shaft, and a second electrical contact positioned closer to the developing roller shaft than a second agitator gear is to the developing roller shaft. The second electrical contact is positioned farther from the developing roller shaft than the first electrical contact is from the developing roller shaft. The supply electrode includes a first electrical contact in contact with the supply roller shaft, and a second electrical contact positioned closer to the developing roller shaft than the second agitator gear is to the developing roller shaft. The second electrical contact of the supply electrode is positioned farther from the developing roller shaft than the second electrical contact of the developing electrode is from the developing roller shaft.

Abstract: A photosensitive drum is rotatable about a first axis extending in a particular direction. A frame rotatably supports the photosensitive drum. A developing roller is rotatable according to driving force about a second axis extending in the particular direction. A surface of the developing roller contacts a surface of the photosensitive drum through toner. A resistance generating member generates a resistance torque TQ1 serving as resistance between the frame and photosensitive drum in a case where the photosensitive drum rotates relative to the frame. In a case where the developing roller rotates according to the driving force in a state where the surface of the developing roller contacts the surface of the photosensitive drum through toner, the resistance torque TQ1 is smaller than a torque TQ2 that causes the photosensitive drum to rotate due to friction between the surface of the developing roller and the surface of the photosensitive drum.
