Jean P. Joule

Jean P. Joule was a physicist known for his work in thermodynamics, particularly in understanding energy and heat. He contributed to the study of how energy is conserved and transformed, helping establish the laws that govern energy exchanges in physical systems. His research clarified the relationship between work and heat, leading to the formulation of the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. Joule's work provided a scientific foundation for processes involving energy efficiency and conservation, impacting engineering, physics, and many technological advancements.
