What is The difference Between Lenz's law and lorentz force??

Lorentz force is the force experienced by a moving charge when it moves in a magnetic field. Just like a static charge experiences electrostatic force given by Coulomb's law. A moving charge experiences Lorent'z force. It is named after scientist Hendrik Lorentz.

It is given by F = q(v X B)

-----

Lenz law comes in a later chapter when you study electromagnetic induction. Lenz'a law tells the direction of induced emf. It is named after scientist Heinrich Lenz who gave it.
