J in electrical mathematics (or i, for imaginary in ordinary mathematics) just happens to follow the same progression as the voltage vector when ac current is passed through a reactance. So the real number and +-J represent the sides of the impedance triangle formed by the voltages across a resistor and an inductor or capacitor. It is a way of mathematically calculating currents and voltages in RLC circuits.
