James Prescott Joule FRS (/dʒuːl/;[1] (24 December 1818 – 11 October 1889) was an English physicist and brewer, built-in in Salford, Lancashire. Joule advised the attributes of heat, and apparent its accord to automated plan (see energy). This led to the law of attention of energy, and this led to the development of the aboriginal law of thermodynamics. The SI acquired assemblage of energy, the joule, is alleged for James Joule. He formed with Lord Kelvin to advance the complete calibration of temperature. Joule aswell fabricated observations of magnetostriction, and he begin the accord amid the accepted through a resistor and the calefaction dissipated, which is now alleged Joule's aboriginal law.
