Reading reflection
7.1
1.
Why do you think that Joule’s father built him a science lab when he was young?
2.
What evidence is there that Joule had an exceptional education?
3.
Why was Joule so interested in electromagnets?
4.
Why would you consider Joule’s early experiments with electric motors important even though he did not
achieve his goal?
5.
Explain Joule’s Law in your own words.
6.
Describe something Joule believed that contradicted the beliefs of his peers.
7.
Describe the experiment that Joule tried to conduct on his honeymoon.
8.
Name one thing that we use today that was invented as a result of his research.
9.
What unit of measurement is named after him?
