- Statement 1: Both charges are positive. Like charges repel, so they exert a positive (repulsive) force on each other.

- Statement 2: Both charges are negative. Again, like charges repel, so they exert a positive (repulsive) force on each other.

- Statement 3: Both charges are oppositely charged. Opposite charges attract, creating a negative (attractive) force, not a positive one.
