To enhance the attraction between oppositely charged objects, you should increase the positive charge of the positively charged object and the negative charge of the negatively charged object. This is based on Coulomb's law, where the force of attraction increases with the magnitude of the charges. Alternatively, decreasing the distance can also increase attraction, but in this scenario, maximizing the charges is the most effective approach. ;
