The number of memory locations that a CPU with 16 bit program counter can address is 65,536. However, the 8086/8088 has a segmented architecture giving a total addressibility of 20 bits or 1,048,576 locations. Without changing the code segment register, though, you can only access 65,536 locations.
Program counter is a processor register that indicates where a computer is in its program sequence. It contains the address of the memory location.
The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.

The stack pointer keeps track of the top of the stack used by the current thread. The program counter keeps track of the next instruction in a program. Both are registers and both store a memory address.
The program counter (PC) and the stack pointer (SP).
program counter is a register that has the address of next instruction that has to be executed after currently executing instruction. it is used for proper execution of functions of computer by providing address of next instruction to microprocessor.
A 14 bit address can specify 214 or 16,384 different locations.
Yes and no. All memory location from 0H to 0FFFFH are addressable, but some of them are needed for the program, interrupt vectors, and the stack, so you would need to pay attention to where things are located in memory to design an appropriate program. In addition, if your system is using memory mapped I/O, some locations will be reserved.
for 16 MB memory has 24 address lines
