Can branch circuits from a panel be pulled in the same conduit if not exeeding the conduit fill requirements?

Yes. The thing that has to be closely watched is the load on the conductors. The conductors will have to be de-rated as the code only gives amperage rating for three conductors in a raceway. So watch the connected amperage to each load and fill the conduit accordingly. This supersedes the conduit fill requirements rule.

How are branch circuits rated?
By the rating of the overcurrent device.
What is NEC 210-4B?
It is a electrical code rule taken from the National Electrical Code book. It has to do with multi wire branch circuits.
What is the difference between a run and a circuit?
run in a electrical system means a wiring & conduit runs coming from Panel Board Circuit Breaker to its branch circuit loads in a circuit. while circuit is a designated number of branch breaker in a panel board where power load was individual connected.
What ampacity should branch circuit conductors have?
Branch circuits wire sizes are governed by the connected load amperage of the circuit. The wire size ampacity then governs the size of the breaker that is used to protect the circuit from overloading. For general home wiring circuits the conductors used are, receptacles and lighting #14 - 15 amps, dedicated circuits load dependant, hot water tank and baseboard heaters #12 - 20 amps, clothes dryer #10 - 30 amps, range #8 -- 40 amps.
DoesCode permit connecting receptacles to a 20ampere branch circuit using short lengths of 14AWG conductors as the pigtail between the receptacle terminals and the 12AWG branch-circuit conductors?
No. This practice is a violation of Article 210.19 (A) of the NEC. "Conductors of branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle for cord-and-plug-connected portable loads shall have an ampacity of not less than the rating of the branch circuit."

Can you wire your water heater and dryer to the same breaker?
Under no circumstances should you do this.. for one they probably have different power requirements, but also they are high current devices, and by code MUST be put on separate branch circuits
What is a load side of the panel?
It is where the black wires are connected for branch circuits.
What are the requirements of the Executive branch?

What type of circuits have loads are on separate branches?
parallel circuitsThey could be called twin-loop circuits but it isn't a term in common use.
