JAMES PRESCOTT JOULE James Prescott Joule was one of the most famous physicists in England in the 17th Century. On the 24th day of December 1818‚ Joule was born near Manchester‚ England in a wealthy business-owning family with five children. As a child‚ he suffered from a spinal disorder which caused him to become shy and weak. Unlike those of his age‚ he preferred to stay indoors and learn‚ instead of playing in the field. As expected by his parents‚ James and his brother were to inherit the

The Joule-Kelvin effect - the expansion of a real gas This famous experiment performed in 1852 was a follow-up to those of Gay-Lussac (1807) and Joule (1845) and demonstrated that there were indeed attractive forces acting between gas molecules. In theory‚ if attractive forces do exist then when a gas expands its temperature should drop. The potential energy of the gas molecules has been increased and therefore in an isolated system its kinetic energy‚ and thus its temperature‚ should fall.

Th Lab 5: Joule Heat John Doe 4/3/2014 Introduction The objective of this lab is to learn that whenever there is an electrical current in a conductor‚ there is some electrical energy that is converted into heat energy. The heat generated in an electrical circuit is commonly referred to as joule heat. Sir James Joule studies of these separate phenomena lead him to the discovery of the proportionality constant known as the Joule equivalent of heat‚ denoted by J. The Joule equivalent

Tricky Trouble on the Two Twins This quote was said by William H. Prescott in an attempt to save ammunition in the Battle of Bunker Hill. This battle was both fought on both Bunker and the nearby Breed’s Hill. The Battle of Bunker Hill had many advantages and disadvantages for both the British and the colonists in the geography. They used many weapons in the battle‚ close range‚ long range and sometimes even both. The battle was intense and action-packed as well as devastating and absolutely
