Joseph John Thomson was born in Creetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester on December 18, 1856. He enlisted at Owens College, Manchester in 1870, and in 1876 signed up to Trinity College, Cambridge as a normal student. He became a Fellow of Trinity College in 1880, when he became a recipient of the Wrangler and Smith (2nd). He remains a member of Trinity College lifetime. He became speaker in 1883, and became a professor in 1918. He was professor of experimental physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, where he replaces John Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, from 1884 to 1918 and became a distinguished professor of physics at Cambridge and Royal Institution, London. Thomson was recently interested in the structure of atoms which is reflected in his book, entitled Treatise on the Motion of Vortex Rings for which he won the Adams Prize in 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. Work recently wrapped up the results obtained subsequent to the emergence of a treatise James Clerk Maxwell's famous and often referred to as the third volume of Maxwell. Thomson collaboration with Professor JH Poynting to write a physics book in four volumes, entitled Properties of Matter and 1895, he produced a book Elements of the Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism, the fifth edition of which was published in 1921. In 1896, Thomson visiting America States to give a course of four lectures, which summarizes new research at Princeton University. The next lecture was published as Discharge of Electricity through Gases (1897). Upon his return from the United States, he gained the most brilliant job in his life studying the cathode rays mounting on the discovery of the electron, which was discussed during the course of the evening lecture to the Royal Instution on Friday, April 30, 1897. Her book Conduction of Electricity through Gases published in 1903, narrated by Lord Rayleigh as a review of "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 six lectures on electricity and matter at Yale University. The lecture contains some important statements about the structure of atoms. He discovered a method to separate types of atoms and molecules that differ, using a positive light, an idea developed by Francis Aston, Dempster and others, which led to the discovery of many isotopes. And again, for it is 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 Recollections and Reflections (1936), among many other publications. Thomson, a recipient of orders for services, inducted in 1908. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1884 and became president during 1916-1920; he obtained a medal Royal and Hughes in 1894 and 1902, and obtained the Copley Medal in 1914. He was awarded the Medal Hodgkins (Smithsonian Institute, Washington) in 1902; Franklin Medal and the Medal Scott (Philadelphia), 1923; Achievements Mascart (Paris), 1927; Achievements Dalton (Manchester), 1931; and the Faraday Medal (Institute of Civil Engineers) in 1938. He is President of the British Association in 1909 (and from part A in 1896 and 1931) and he holds an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Oxford, Dublin, London, Victoria, Columbia, Cambridge, Durham, Birmingham, Göttingen, Leeds, Oslo, Sorbonne, Edinburgh, Reading, Princeton, Glasgow, Johns Hopkins, Aberdeen, Kraków, and Philadelphia. In 1890, he married Rose Elisabeth, putir Sir George E. Paget, KCB They were awarded a son, now Sir George Paget Thomson, professor emeritus of physics at the University of London, who was also awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1937, and a daughter. JJ Thomson died on August 30, 1940.
