Joseph John Thomson was born in Creetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester on 18 December 1856. He enrolled in the Owens College, Manchester, in the year 1870, and in 1876 enrolled at Trinity College, Cambridge as a regular student. He became a member of Trinity College in 1880, when he became a Wrangler and Smith's Prize (2nd). He remains a member of the Trinity College all his life. He became a lecturer in 1883, and became a full professor in 1918. He was professor of experimental physics at the Cavendish laboratory, Cambridge, where he replaced John Strutt, Rayleigh, from 1884 to 1918 and became a distinguished professor of physics at Cambridge and the Royal Institution, London.Thomson recently it is interested in atomic structure that is reflected in his book, entitled Treatise on the Motion of Vortex Rings which won him the Adams Prize of the year 1884. His book entitled Application of Dynamics to Physics and Chemistry published in 1886, and in 1892 he published a book entitled Notes on Recent Researches in Electricity and Magnetism. This latter job wrapping results obtained subsequent to the occurrence of the tract James Clerk Maxwell who was well known and often referred to as the third volume of Maxwell. Thomson worked with Professor J.H. Poynting physical book to write in four volumes, titled Properties of Matter and in 1895, he produced the book Elements of the Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism, the fifth edition of which was published in 1921.The year 1896, Thomson visited the United States to give a course of four lectures, which summarizes new studies at Princeton University. His lecture is published with the title the next Discharge of Electricity through Gases (1897). Upon his return from the United States, she's gaining the most brilliant work in his life, namely the study of cathode rays mounting on the discovery of the electron, which was discussed during the course on the lecture that night until Royal Instution on Friday, April 30, 1897. His book the Conduction of Electricity through Gases published in 1903, is told by Lord Rayleigh as an overview over the "great days at the Cavendish Laboratory". The next edition, written in collaboration with his son, George, in two volumes (1928 and 1933).Thomson returned to America in 1904, to deliver his sermon about the six electrical and at Yale University. The lecture that contains some important statements about the structure of the atom. He invented a method for separating the atoms and molecules are different, using positive rays, an idea that was developed by Francis Aston, Dempster, and others, which led to the discovery of many isotopes. And again, for it was only mentioned and he wrote books, such as The Structure of Light (1907), The Corpuscular Theory of Matter (1907), Rays of Positive Electricity (1913), The Electron in Chemistry (1923) and his autobiography, and the book of Recollections and Reflections (1936), among many other publications. Thomson, a recipient of the Services command, appointed in 1908.He was elected to the Royal Society in 1884 and became its President during 1916-1920; He obtained a Royal Medal and Hughes in 1894 and 1902, and the Copley Medal in 1914. He was awarded the Medal of the Hodgkins Lymphoma (Smithsonian Institute, Washington) in 1902; The Franklin Medal and Scott Medal (Philadelphia), 1923; Medal Mascart (Paris), 1927; Dalton Medal (Manchester), 1931; and the Faraday Medal (Institute of Civil Engineers) in 1938. He was President of the British Association in 1909 (and section A of years 1896 and 1931) and he holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford, Dublin, London, Victoria, Columbia, Cambridge, Durham, Birmingham, Leeds, Göttingen, Oslo, Sorbonne, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Glasgow, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Aberdeen, Kraków, and Philadelphia.In 1890, he married Rose Elisabeth, putir Sir George e. Paget, K.C.B. awarded Them a son, now Sir George Paget Thomson, professor emeritus of physics at the University for London, which was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1937, and a daughter.J. j. Thomson died on August 30, 1940.
