WHAT DOES JOULE'S LAW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Joule effect

Joule effect and Joule's law are any of several different physical effects discovered or characterized by English physicist James Prescott Joule. These physical effects are not the same, but all are frequently or occasionally referred to in literature as the "Joule effect" or "Joule law" These physical effects include: ▪ Joule's first law, a physical law expressing the relationship between the heat generated and current flowing through a conductor. ▪ Joule's second law states that the internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of its volume and pressure, depending only on its temperature. ▪ Magnetostriction, a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape when subjected to a magnetic field. ▪ The Joule–Thomson effect, the temperature change of a gas when it is allowed to expand freely. ▪ The Gough–Joule effect or the Gow–Joule effect, which is the tendency of elastomers to contract if heated while they are under tension.

Definition of Joule's law in the English dictionary

The definition of Joule's law in the dictionary is the principle that the heat produced by an electric current is equal to the product of the resistance of the conductor, the square of the current, and the time for which it flows. Other definition of Joule's law is the principle that at constant temperature the internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of volume. Real gases change their internal energy with volume as a result of intermolecular forces.
