Ko James Prescott Joule (; 24 Hakihea 1818 <unk> 11 Oketopa 1889) he kairangahau Ingarihi, kairangahau pāngarau me te kaihanga pia, i whanau i Salford, Lancashire. I ako a Joule i te ahua o te wera, ka kitea tona hononga ki te mahi miihini (tirohia te kaha). I arahina tenei ki te ture o te tiaki o te kaha, na tera i arahi ki te whanaketanga o te ture tuatahi o te thermodynamics. Ko te SI i ahu mai i te kaha, ko te joule, i tapaina ki a ia. Pātai: I whanau a Joule i tehea taone?
Ko Salford, Lancashire
