The SI derived unit of energy is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist and
brewer who lived from 1818 to 1889. Joule studied the nature of heat, and discovered its
relationship to mechanical work. This led to the theory of conservation of energy, which
led to the development of the first law of thermodynamics.
