James Prescott Joule
James Prescott Joule is an English physicist, mathematician and brewer, born in Salford, Lancashire. Joule studied the nature of heat and discovered its relationship to mechanical work. This led to the conservation of energy, which in turn led to the development of the first law of thermodynamics. The unit of energy is derived from SI, jun, which bears his name. He worked with Lord Kelvin to develop an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale, known as the Kelvin scale. Joule also made observations on magnetic friction, and he found a relationship between electric current through resistance and radiant heat, also known as Joule's first law. His experiments on energy transformation were first published in 1843.
