Here's a breakdown:

* Tension is a force that exists within a stretched object. It acts along the length of the object, pulling the object back to its original shape.

* Imagine a rubber band. When you stretch it, you feel a force pulling back on your fingers. That's tension.

* The greater the stretch, the greater the tension force.

* Tension is a type of internal force within the object, as opposed to an external force like pushing or pulling on the object from outside.
