Abstract
Charge Master, an IBM PC-compatible software package that aids in visualizing equipotentials produced by systems of point charges, is described. It accomplishes this via an educational game and an option that plots equipotentials. An assignment designed to accompany the software and its use in an introductory EM fields course are also described. The software has been well received by students
