James Joule, British physicist
James Joule (1818-1889), British physicist, measuring the heating in wires resulting from the passage of an electric current. Joule was interested in the physical properties of heat and, in 1840, determined that the heat generated in a wire by an electrical current was proportional to the resistance and the square of the current (Joules Law). In 1843 he determined the amount of mechanical work required to produce a given amount of heat. This work established the equivalence of heat and other forms of energy, and the principle of conservation of energy: energy is neither created nor destroyed. Taken from Physique Populaire, 1891

Bring the intriguing world of science to your walls with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints featuring the iconic image of James Joule, the British physicist, in action. Captured by Science Photo Library, this captivating poster showcases Joule as he measures the heating in wires caused by the passage of an electric current. Ignite your home or office with this educational and visually stunning addition to your space, celebrating the groundbreaking discoveries and innovations of one of science's greatest minds.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 45.7cm (16.5" x 18")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of James Joule, a renowned British physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of thermodynamics. In this image, taken from Physique Populaire in 1891, we see Joule deeply engrossed in an experiment to measure the heating produced by an electric current passing through wires. Joule's pioneering work on heat and energy revolutionized our understanding of these fundamental concepts. In 1840, he established Joule's Law, which states that the heat generated in a wire is directly proportional to its resistance and the square of the current flowing through it. This discovery laid the foundation for many subsequent advancements in electrical engineering. Furthermore, three years later, Joule determined the amount of mechanical work required to produce a specific quantity of heat. This crucial finding not only demonstrated the equivalence between different forms of energy but also introduced us to one of nature's most profound principles: conservation of energy - that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration depicting a moment frozen in time from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of James Joule's immense contributions but also his unwavering curiosity and dedication as a scientist. His legacy continues to inspire generations after him as they strive towards unraveling new mysteries within physics and beyond.
