The first misconception is that what you have in the picture is not a DC circuit. It is an AC circuit that works at 1.5 MHz. Sure it is a DC-DC converter but it switches the inductor to ground at 1.5 MHz to charge the inductor with current and then let it discharge the current into the output capacitor.

In this introduction to capacitors tutorial, we will see that capacitors are passive electronic components consisting of two or more pieces of conducting material separated by an insulating material.
A capacitor is an electrical component which stores and releases electricity in a circuit, much like a rechargeable battery does. However, a capacitor stores potential energy in an electrical field, whereas batteries accumulate energy in the form of a chemical energy, and then convert this into an electrical energy.
Key Concepts: Capacitance: The ability of a capacitor to store electric charge. Dielectric Materials: Insulating substances between capacitor plates that influence capacitance and Q factor. Electric Charge and Field: Fundamental principles guiding capacitor operation. Impedance and Reactance: Capacitor’s resistance to changes in current.
It is a passive electronic component with two terminals. The utility of a capacitor depends on its capacitance. While some capacitance exists between any two electrical conductors in proximity in a circuit, a capacitor is a component designed specifically to add capacitance to some part of the circuit.
When a voltage is applied across the plates, an electric field is created, causing electrons to accumulate on one plate while the other plate develops a positive charge. This process allows the capacitor to store electrical energy in the form of an electrostatic field.
