The ratio between rotational angular momentum, Jrot, and orbital angular momentum, Jorb, in close binary systems and its variation with mass ratio is studied. The tables and the graphs give this variation for detached systems, contact systems, semidetached systems and for systems containing a supernova-remnant component and a contact component. For this study some statistical relations of close binary stars were used.

The ratio Jrot/Jorb is sensitive to the variation of the mass ratio q. If q differs much from unity and if the concentration of the stellar matter is moderate (polytropic index n ~ 3), the neglect of rotational angular momentum, Jrot, is not justified.
