Do you understand "resistance" in an electrical circuit?
Its the key to all electrical engineering:

  V = I R
(where I is current in amps, not the square root of -1)

Impedance is simply "resistance" in alternating current circuits.

While a resistor is simple and doesn't vary with frequency,
A/C components, specifically coils and capacitors have differing
"impedance" with differing frequencies.

But unlike the marketing spin, its really easy to engineer properly, its
taught in EE 101 at all universities.
