The question is obscure.

"Capability" probably encompasses bit width (8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, etc), speed (time to write, time to read), repeatability (flash and other technologies have a limited number of read-writes before they become unreliable) and volatility (commonly-used RAM in computers and other devices "loses" data once power is removed - volatile - while ROM/ EPROM/ etc and flash technologies retain data when power is removed).

Capacity is definitely the number of bytes/ kilobytes/ megabytes/ gigabytes available for storage.

A simple way to think of this is: You have a working computer with the capability to store information. But after your vacation, you downloaded photos from all your families' cellphones and digital cameras. Your harddrive became so full, programs barely open. While your computer is still capable (it could do it) save more in memory, it has no capacity left because the harddrive is too full. But if you copy all the photos onto a huge external drive, your computer would then not only have capability to put items into memory, it would again have the capacity to store the items.

If there are 1000 memory locations and word length is 2 bytes what is the storage capacity of the memory?

The storage capacity of the memory can be calculated by multiplying the number of memory locations by the word length. With 1000 memory locations and a word length of 2 bytes, the total storage capacity is 1000 locations × 2 bytes/location = 2000 bytes. This is equivalent to 2 kilobytes (KB), as 1 KB equals 1024 bytes.
