James Prescott Joule was an English physicist born in 1818 who made discoveries regarding the nature of heat and its relationship to mechanical work. He established the mechanical equivalent of heat, determining that a given amount of work produces a proportional amount of heat. Joule also invented the electromagnetic engine. He was elected to the Royal Society and received honors including the Royal Medal and Copley Medal for his contributions to science.
