I know an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function.But how we can differentiate it from Logic?

An algorithm is a process, which must be based on logic in order to be useful for an individual or a computer. An algorithm is not "a form of deductive or inductive reasoning".
Algorithmic logic is one of many logics of programs. Another logic of programs is dynamic logic, see dynamic logic, Harel, Kozen & Tiuryn (2000).
Algorithm – It is a well-defined, systematic logical approach that comes with a step-by-step procedure for computers to solve any given program. Program – It refers to the code (written by programmers) for any program that follows the basic rules of the concerned programming language.
Wow your question took me on a voyage and I found something!! This may not stand as an answer but putting it here as a reference.
Algorithm = Logic + Control
An algorithm can be regarded as consisting of a logic component, which specifies the knowledge to be used in solving problems, and a control componentwhich determines the problem-solving strategies by means of which that knowledge is used.
The logic component determines the meaning of the algorithm whereas the control component only affects its effeciency. The effeciency of an algorithm can often be improved by improving the control component without changing the logic of the algorithm.

Logic would be the reason behind the well-defined instructions.
