but I get large word Table in bold

and figure not fig. as required and also after figure there is a new line which is not required

here is mine

and figure is here

Answer 1

You can use \captionsetup to provide different options for table and figure:

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf,justification=raggedright,singlelinecheck=false]{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{name=Fig. ,labelsep=period}
\captionsetup[table]{labelsep=newline,font=footnotesize}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!ht]
\caption{A test table caption}
\end{table}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\caption{A test figure caption}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

You should take into account the warning you get from using caption with elsarticle class:

Package caption Warning: Unsupported document class (or package) detected, (caption) usage of the caption package is not recommended. See the caption package documentation for explanation.
