joulen.

Brit.

/dʒuːl/, U.S.

/dʒul/

Forms: Also Joule.

Etymology: Named 1882, after Dr. J. P. Joule, an English physicist.

Physics.

An electrical unit, being the amount of work done (or of heat generated) by a current of one ampère acting for one second against a resistance of one ohm. Later adopted as the M.K.S. unit of energy and work in non-electrical contexts also; it is equal to 10 million ergs, and is now incorporated in the International System of Units, in which it is given the equivalent definition of the work done when the point of application of a force of one newton is displaced through a distance of one metre in the direction of the force.Although some people of this name call themselves

/dʒaʊl/ and others

/dʒəʊl/ (D. Jones Everyman's Eng. Pronouncing Dict. (ed. 11, 1956), G. M. Miller BBC Pronouncing Dict. British Names (1971)), it is almost certain that J. P. Joule (and some at least of his relatives) used

/dʒuːl/. For evidence on this point see Nature (1943) CLII. 354, 418, 479, 602.

1882 Athenæum 26 Aug. 274/2 Dr. Siemens proposes to add to these [electrical] units four new ones, as follows: (1) a Watt..(2) a Weber..(3) a Gauss..(4) a unit of heat, to be called a ‘Joule’, and to be defined as the quantity of heat generated by an ampère flowing through an ohm for one second.

1882 Athenæum 2 Sept. 310/2 Two of his units were unanimously approved—namely, (1) the watt..(2) the joule.

1886 J. A. Fleming Short Lect. Electr. Artisans v. 87 An amount of work equal to 10 million ergs is called one joule. Hence one foot-pound = 1·356 joules, or one joule = ·7373 foot-pound.

1889 Rep. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1888 56 It was also agreed to adopt the name ‘Joule’ for 10⁷ C.G.S. units of work. Thus a Joule is equal to 10⁷ ergs. It is the work done in one second by a power of one Watt.

1893 Operator & Electr. World 2 Sept. 175/1 The several governments represented by the delegates of this International Congress of Electricians..hereby recommended to formally adopt as legal units of electrical measure the following... As a unit of work the joule, which is 10⁷ units of work in a C.G.S. system.

1896 Rep. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1896 154 The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gramme of water 1° C. of the scale of the hydrogen thermometer, at a mean temperature which may be taken as 10° C. of that thermometer, is 4·2 Joules.

1923 W. N. Shaw Forecasting Weather (ed. 2) i. 24 Observations for nine stations within greater London, comprising measures of atmospheric pollution at Richmond and South Kensington, total solar radiation at South Kensington in joules, and its average and maximum rate in milliwatts.

1949 Nature 19 Mar. 428/1 It was also agreed [by the ninth International Conference of Weights and Measures] that the unit of heat should be the ‘Joule’.

1951 Engineering 11 May 577/1 The international units, as realised in the various national laboratories, differed by small amounts, but it has been agreed that the mean international joule of the various laboratories is equal to 1·00019 absolute joules.

1951 Engineering 11 May 577/3 If the value of the 15-deg. calorie is taken as 4·1855 absolute joules, a B.Th.U. is equal to 1054·54 absolute joules.

1963 H. G. Jerrard & D. B. McNeill Dict. Sci. Units 29 The energy represented by a calorie varies according to the temperature of the water, thus there was the International steam calorie (4·1868 joules), the 15° C calorie (4·1855 joules), the 4° C calorie (4·2045 joules), and the mean 0–100° C calorie (4·1897 joules). These differences were overcome when the calorie was replaced by the joule as the primary unit of heat in the metric system in 1950.

1970 Daily Tel. 4 May 3 Adoption of the metric system and loss of the calorie as a unit of energy may increase the hazard of obesity, Prof. J. B. M. Coppock, an expert on nutrition, said yesterday... There was a danger of losing the calorie for another unit, the joule, which was little understood outside physics and engineering... It would be years before the public..could adjust to a new jargon.

Joule effect n. (also †Joule's effect) (a) the heating effect of an electric current flowing through a resistance (described by Joule's law n. (a)); (b) a change in the linear dimensions (esp. length) of a body when it is subjected to a magnetic field.

1939 L. F. Bates Mod. Magn. x. 303 The existence of a Joule effect in non-ferromagnetic substances was first proved by Kapitza.

1966 F. Brailsford Physical Princ. Magn. vi. 143 Additional to the high-field volume change is the Joule effect involving changes in linear dimensions in relatively low fields, which in most cases may be 10 to 100 times greater than those due to the volume magnetostriction.
