It changes how easily the top thread moves through the machine. You want the top thread and bottom thread to have equal tension so you won't get loops of thread on the bottom or top of your seam. If you get loops on the bottom, tighten your top tension; if you get loops on the top, loosen the top tension.
If it is a mk1 try checking the fuse or the bulbs, my clio had the same problem. I checked the bulbs and the fillaments were fine but the bottom of the bulb had corroded away. The solution new bulbs!
Compression and tension occur in opposite side of the footing relative to position. So, at a spread ftg or pile cap, the top reinforcing will be in tension and the bottom compression. At the midspan, between spread ftgs or pile caps, the tension will occur in the bottom and compression in the top. Rebar lap splices usually occur in the compression points, so bottom lap at spread ftgs and top at midspans. Also, details will typical have additional rebar at the points of maximum tension so at the top over supports and bottom at midspans. This though should be confirmed with the Engineer of Record on any project, as assumptions can change project to project. But this is the general concept.
Not sure what you are checking, but a transistor has two junctions. Think of a three layer cake with chocolate on the bottom layer, vanilla in the middle and chocolate on the top. The junctions are where the chocolate and vanilla meet.
tension
On my 94, the tension bar is between the passenger wheel well and the motor, towards the bottom. Use a wrench to lift the tension bar, and the belt should loosen up. On my 95 Corsica 2.2 4cyl, the tension pulley is DOWN and to the LEFT of the alternator pulley. The space in between the bolt on the pulley and the side of the engine compartment is to small for a socket. I used a box wrench and turned CLOCKWISE.
Each vehicle can be different. Manuals tend to have fill plugs, where the fluid is set to the bottom of the hole with the engine off. Most automatics have dipsticks. It depends on the transmission if it is checked in park or neutral with the engine running.
To clean its bottom and to literally scratch its bottom. == ANSWER == This may be a sign of worms, please get your pet checked.
When a simply supported beam is subject to bending; the top of the beam will be subject to compression, and the bottom of the beam will be subject to tension (think about the bottom of the beam stretching as it bends i.e. tension). Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so steel reinforcement is added to allow it to resist this tension and carry bending sufficiently. Note: bars are generally added to the compression side too but that's for another day.
The meniscus is a curve in the surface of a liquid that is caused by surface tension and by the attraction between the liquid and the sides of the container. The bottom of the meniscus represents the most accurate measurement because the lines of a graduated cylinder are in the middle of the graduated cylinder.
Tension: The curve of the arch and its ability to force the presser outward reduces the 'pulling apart' effect on the bottom of the bridge.
