Boyle's law and Charles's law are both gas laws that describe the behavior of gases at different conditions, but they focus on different parameters.

Boyle's law states that, at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means that if the volume of a gas increases, the pressure will decrease, and vice versa, as long as the temperature remains constant. Mathematically, Boyle's law can be represented as P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

On the other hand, Charles's law states that, at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. This means that if the temperature of a gas increases, the volume will also increase, and vice versa, as long as the pressure remains constant. Mathematically, Charles's law can be represented as V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature, and V2 and T2 are the final volume and temperature.

In summary, Boyle's law relates pressure and volume at constant temperature, while Charles's law relates volume and temperature at constant pressure.
