Answer:
The answer is: The increased voltage causes an increase in power usage, and the device will over-heat.
Explanation:
First, we must consider the variables of the electrical system that will allow us to respond. In this case, power, current and voltage, which are related by
Where P=Power, V=Voltage, I=Current.
In the equation it can be observed that power is directly proportional to the system voltage. Thus, if the voltage increases as in this case, the power will also increase, which overheats the device and can cause damage to it.
The change in potential energy of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
is the increase in altitude of the object
In our problem,
is the mass of the book, 
and
is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
In our problem,
