two circuits in one conduit

Can I have two circuits in one conduit? 15 amp 14 guage?
Can I use the same return wire for two circuits in one conduit?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

Only in very specific circumstances. I assume you are talking about the white neutral wire when you say "return wire". To avoid a fire, it is very important to avoid putting more current on that wire than it can handle. Unless you fully understand the requirements of a multiwire circuit, I suggest you consider the answer to this question to be "no".

Okay, thanks.

Do you know where I could find out more about a multiwire circuit?
