James Prescott Joule was an English physicist and mathematician known for his influential work in the field of thermodynamics. His research into the connection between heat and mechanical work led to the establishment of the law of conservation of energy and the formulation of the first law of thermodynamics. Joule’s partnership with Lord Kelvin contributed to the development of the Kelvin temperature scale. His findings, such as Joule’s first law on heat dissipation in resistors, were pivotal in shaping modern energy theory and the establishment of the joule as the SI unit of energy.
