'ㄱ' is a velar stop and can be voiced or voiceless depending on the phonetic context. Put simply, it's a 'k' that turns into a 'g' when it occurs between two vowels.
'ㅋ' is also a velar stop but is more tense, heavily aspirated (i.e., pronounced with a strong breath like making an 'h' sound), and never voiced (i.e., it can't end up sounding like a 'g').

I'm not sure how to give you an example of where to use them other than to say it would any words in which they occur. They're different letters of the Korean alphabet representing different sounds, not grammatical elements, so you'd use them in whatever words they appear in. I think the important thing is to understand that aspiration (i.e., pronouncing something with a heavy breath) is a distinctive feature of Korean phonology. It's not in English. So you need to be able to hear and to reproduce the difference between these pairs: ㄱ, ㅋ ㄷ, ㅌ ㅂ, ㅍ ㅈ, ㅊ To give a fuller picture than your original question, it's actually a three-way distinction because Korean also has tense consonants: ㄱ (k/g), ㄲ (kk) , ㅋ (kh) ㄷ (t/d), ㄸ (tt), ㅌ (th: this is not like English 'th' but is a regular 't' pronounced with a strong burst of air) ㅂ (p/b), ㅃ (pp), ㅍ (ph: this is 'p' with a burst of air, not 'f') ㅈ (ch/j), ㅉ (tch), ㅊ (ch') ㅅ (s), ㅆ (ss) If you don't hear the sounds, there is going to be a limit to how helpful the above approximations will be, but understand that basic stops can be voiced or voiceless depending on the phonetic environment. Voice is not a distinctive feature of Korean phonology. The double consonants are more tense and this feature prevents them from ever becoming voiced. The aspirated consonants are also tense but have the added feature of being pronounced with a heavy breath of air.
