This led to the theory of conservation of energy, which led to the development of the first law of thermodynamics.

James Prescott Joule was born on December 24, 1818 (age 70 years) in England. "Geschichte ist die Biographie der Menschheit", Ludwig Börne (1786-1837) James Prescott Joule. Also in 1847, another of Joule's presentations at the British Association in Oxford was attended by George Gabriel Stokes, Michael Faraday, and the precocious and maverick William Thomson, later to become Lord Kelvin, who had just been appointed professor of natural philosophy at the University of Glasgow. <>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 595.44 841.92] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>> The pair only received two years’ education in arithmetic and geometry before Dalton was forced to retire owing to a stroke. The son of Benjamin Joule (1784–1858), a wealthy brewer, and Alice Prescott Joule, James Prescott Joule was born in the house adjoining the Joule Brewery in New Bailey Street, Salford 24 December 1818. In Science and Technology. However, Joule's interest diverted from the narrow financial question to that of how much work could be extracted from a given source, leading him to speculate about the convertibility of energy. Joule went on to lecture at Sturgeon’s Royal Victoria Gallery of Practical Science.

The English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) proved that mechanical and thermal energies are interconvertible on a fixed basis, and thus he established the great principle of conservation of energy. ��H� �ZCՏ�ֻ���I?�,��nu{�8���f!����D醆�'������+�~�)rgʝ1����ac�NJ�{x�?

His nationalities are English, British. Lavoisier’s prestige and the practical success of Sadi Carnot’s caloric theory of the heat engine since 1824 ensured that the young Joule, working outside either academia or the engineering profession, had a difficult road ahead. Fascinated by electricity, he and his brother experimented by giving electric shocks to each other and to the family’s servants.Smith (2004). He went on to realise that burning a pound of coal in a steam engine produced five times as much duty as a pound of zinc consumed in a Grove cell,William Robert Grove was to give one of the earliest general accounts of the conservation of energy in 1844. an early electric battery.Smith (1998) p.60 Joule’s common standard of "economical duty" was the ability to raise one pound by a height of one foot, the foot-pound.Joule’s unit of the foot-pound corresponds to a modern measure of energy.
