James Joule is famous for his work studying heat and the law of conservation of energy. The SI measurement the joule is named after him.
British physicist James Joule was the son of Benjamin Joule a wealthy brewer, and Alice Prescott Joule.
James Joule was a physicist who studied heat and is credited with the discovery of how heat related to mechanical work. His discoveries and studies led to the law of conservation of energy.
The Joule
It doesn't "work"; a joule is the unit for energy or for work.

The unit of work is named after James Prescott Joule because it was his research that demonstrated the concept of energy conservation. Joule worked in his father's brewery from an early age, a job that gave him further opportunity for experimentation.

The joule (J) is named after James Prescott Joule. One joule is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object through a distance of one metre.

James Joule died in Sale, Cheshire. He died on 11th October 1889.
James Joule was a 19th century mathematician and physicist, and his investigations of what heat is and how it works paved the way to the law of the conservation of the conservation of energy, and a bit later on to the first law of thermodynamics.
