No. The reason for this is that for let's say the White King to 'capture' the Black King the White King would have to move one square away from it the previous turn. Kings can only move 1 square at a time (except when castling).
This previous turn's position is not legal since if you were to move the White King one square away from the Black King, you would be moving your own King into check - and that is an illegal move in Chess (here Black King could 'capture' the White King on it's turn).
But the questions idea of capturing Kings is not quite right - a King can never be captured in chess by ANY piece. If you were to say move a Rook so that now aims directly at your opponent's King ('check'), your opponent has to immediately do one of three things: a) Move his King to an adjacent square that is no longer being attacked, b) take your attacking piece (if it can do so), or c) put one of it's own pieces in between to block the 'check' (again if it can do so).
If your opponent is unable to do any one of these 3 things then this is now 'check mate' and the game is over. So the King never acutally gets captured and removed from the board, unlike the other pieces.

This is simply not correct. The Black King cannot checkmate the White King in this case because it has nothing left to 'check' the White King with. To checkmate the opponent, their king must be in 'check', and as explained above a King cannnot do this by themselves. The best the person playing black can hope for is for a 'stalemate' position.
A stalemate is where the Black King is NOT in check, but it is black's turn and there are no legal moves (ie. all the other squares around it are attacked by White's pieces so the King can't move to safety, and black has no other pieces that can be moved on their turn). This position is a draw ('stalemate' is chess terminology for a draw). When playing white in this example, you have to be careful that you always leave a valid move for black to make when you are not giving check, otherwise you hard-fought efforts are waisted by getting a draw.
So as long as you avoid stalemate white will be easily able to checkmate black's defenseless King.

When playing chess and the black king has been checked can it only move around its position that it is in?
The king is never permanently restricted to moving only within a certain area.If in check, a player must either move the king out of check, block the attack line with another piece, or capture the piece that is putting the king in check. A king cannot castle while in check. A player may also not castle if doing so would result in him being in check (or the rook used in the move to be under attack).A king who has been in check but is no longer in check has all the same capabilities as a king that has never been in check.
