Two capacitors C1 = 5µF and C2 = 9.5µF are
connected in parallel across a 40-V battery. The battery is removed and plates of opposite sign are connected. Find the final
charge and potential difference for each capacitor.

I keep getting 40-V as a final potential difference which doesn't seem to make sense. 

Provide pictures and analysis please.
