Extreme in degree; excessive.

(Electricity) Voltage or potential; electromotive force.

Stressful and tiring.

To subject to tension; tighten.

Very severe.

The condition of being held in a state between two or more forces, which are acting in opposition to each other.

A feeling of nervousness, excitement, or fear that is created in a movie, book, etc.; suspense.

Extreme in degree; excessive; immoderate;

State of an elastic object which is stretched in a way which increases its length.

In an extreme degree;

Force transmitted through a rope, string, cable, or similar object (used with prepositions on, in, or of, e.g., "The tension in the cable is 1000 N", to convey that the same magnitude of force applies to objects attached to both ends).

Extremely sharp or intense;

Voltage. Usually only the terms low tension, high tension, and extra-high tension, and the abbreviations LT, HT, and EHT are used. They are not precisely defined; LT is normally a few volts, HT a few hundreds of volts, and EHT thousands of volts.

A device for checking the delivery of the thread in a sewing machine, so as to give the stitch the required degree of tightness.

Expansive force; the force with which the particles of a body, as a gas, tend to recede from each other and occupy a larger space; elastic force; elasticity; as, the tension of vapor; the tension of air.

The quality in consequence of which an electric charge tends to discharge itself, as into the air by a spark, or to pass from a body of greater to one of less electrical potential. It varies as the quantity of electricity upon a given area.

Feelings of hostility that are not manifest;

(psychology) a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense;

The physical condition of being stretched or strained;

A balance between and interplay of opposing elements or tendencies (especially in art or literature);

(physics) a stress that produces an elongation of an elastic physical body;
